Are you using fresh gas?
That bears repeating. if the gas was old, you'll need to flush the system from the tank down through the bowls.

great news everyone!!!! the bike started and ran today with some fresh gas and a little bit of starting fluid, i rode it in my yard for about 5 minutes then it just died, but there is hope now, i got it running
any suggestions as far as the whole suddenly dying thing? im at a standstill now but morale is up because it actually ran and i rode it for the first time in 2 years
thanks to everyone
make sure the air vent on the gas cap is clear or it will vapor lock and die every few minutes. Guess how I know that......

if that is good i would check the float seals next.remove the bowl drain and make sure u have a good fuel suply coming out of each drain. if u push up VERY lightly on the floats the fuel should stop flowing.
