Default Engine Help

Hi,

I had a NIB Evo 35GT which I bought on RCU, then sold un-started to a local guy. He's been trying to run it and reports that he can't get it to fire, no matter what. He says that the carb will not draw fuel into the engine. He says that if he removes the plug and drips some fuel into the case, that it will fire until it burns off the prime.

Any ideas? It's a Walbro, and I've only seen this kind of thing when there was something not hooked up properly. These things are relatively simple machines, and if there's spark and fuel vapor, it should pop. Walbros aren't very complicated either (or so I thought). Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially if you have one of these engines.
