If there's gas in the bowl, there should be at least some gas getting into the cylinder if the jets aren't stopped up. Might not be enough to make it fun but should at least make it sputter a couple of times.

The plug generally shouldn't be wet unless the engine is flooded. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Tried it with the petcock on prime?

Sure it's firing?

Its got me stumped.

If starter spray ain't makin' it pop, then i'd say the spark ain't hot enough. But i'm not a guru on the 650, so i'll leave it up to the pro's.....
