Default 87 550 Jetski won't start

I just pulled my jetski out of storage it hasn't ran in 2 years because I was finishing my MBA.

I just drained the gas tank and put new fuel in Changed the spark plugs and put all new gaskets and springs in the carburetter.

I set the carb back to the factory settings. Low 1-1/16 High 15/16 Pilot 1-5/16.

I don't have a choke but have a primer. When I give the primer a couple of pumps it fires up like a champ but will only run for half of a second with tons of smoke.

The compression is at 124 in each cylinder.

What should I do now?

Make sure your fuel lines are clean, and your carb was put back together the right way
