Got it done,I pulled the carb off and soaked it in high octane gas for an hour.
Pulled it out and punched out all of the ports then re assembled it.
Primed it and it fired up after a min or two throttled down on the choke once,twice three times and all good,then pushed down on the gas feed and she purred.

Thanks guys I'm now ready for the white stuff.

Bob I had the same problem on mine, I replaced the carb and the next year it was doing almost the identical thing again. Long story short follow the fuel line from the bottom of the tank, if it goes into or under a cowl, on it's way to the carb, replace it. Mine had a small gash and was s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g air. Never had any problems after that
