Priming the Carb

Hi
I have a 1988 SnoScoot with electric start.
Ran beautiful last year. I shut the gas off and ran the carb out.
Now I can't get it started. The fuel line leading up to the carb has some gas and air in the line that I can see. I turn the key to start it and I can see the gas want to go to the carb, but I think the air is stopping it.
HELP PLEASE

Thanks

I would put a air hose in the fule line to push it though but I think your fuel pump may be bad or plugged cause they usually gravity feed and pump well.Hope this helps pumps are $54.00 new and my dealer had 1

I figured it out.
All I needed to do was pull the plug out, turn it over and the pump pulled the fuel to the piston purging the air lock in the line.
Put the plug back in and it fired right up.
