Checking for a leak between carb and engine would not be a bad idea.
But, number one on the list of
Stuff that makes people crazy
Weak battery
Screwed up petcock

If I am having trouble with anything starting
I squirt some ether in.
It's either fuel, air or spark.
Give it fuel.
See what happens.

After you're sure the battery is up.

Pulling the plug to test spark doesn't Prove it is firing under compression, just that the ignition system is alive and will make it spark. If the battery is Skippy and spinning the motor over, but the starter motor current draw drops the battery voltage enough, the plug won't fire.
To test the spark, get another plug, put the plug wire on it, and ground it, hit start.

Pulling the battery to
A
check your water level
B
Get it tested
Is a hassle

But, so is what you're going through.

Petcock on prime works fine. So I removed seat and tank. Need a plug tool to remove it to check it . I will write you about spark. Looks like its gone. Thank you all!!!

Good news winter almost finished but still tempereture is negative in Celsius ! In april will be legal to drive motorcycle again. I Started my Savage

I tried to change petrol, removed sparkplug and cleaned , set a petcock on Prime and with car battery it started! Than you all for help!!!
I think raptor works bad. Because hard to start in
reserve or on position, but engine works when i change position from prime to res.

Blow it out or do something to inspect down there. Doesn't take a lot of crap on top of the piston to be a problem.
