I recently purchased a '94 Ski Nautique, which hasn't been run in several months. The engine is turning but isn't getting fuel up to the carburetor. Any suggestions for what may be wrong &/or how to fix it?

Welcome to the site. Fuel pump maybe? Somebody more knowledgeable will chime in shortly I'm sure.

In addition to what Marty mentioned, did you try squirting gas into the carb while cranking it over?
Otherwise, try a line from the inlet of the fuel pump to a gas can gas can to run that way to eliminate any issues from the filter to the tank.
Also, make sure it has spark too.
