Ok it's a 1987-89 yamaha bw 80

it's been sitting for a while, I recently moved to an area where I can ride more so I wanted to get it up and running again but it is being such a hassle. Here's a list of what I've done if you can point out what else I need to do

remove gas and replace .
Take off carb and boil it in hot water
change oil
clean air filter

I've tried kick starting I've tried push starting and even getting pulled by a car and it barely kicks over.

Today I tried putting carb cleaner in the carb and it tries to start better but only lasts about 10 kicks or until it turns on then shuts off....

Any suggestions any sites I can go to for more help or should I just try and get another bike up n running
Replaced the fuel line and still nothing , one thing I did notice is that there are two valves on the carb that had pipe on it and when I put the carb back in I couldn't find the other end where it went is it supposed to be loose or connected to something
 
It sounds to me like she's starving for gas. replace fuel line and clean in-tank filter. then let the line dribble into a cup and make sure it flows enough. check, clean, gap plug. be suspicious of that boiled carb, especially the seals and soft parts.
