Okay, I had a chance to work on the XR today and this is what I found.  After kicking on it repeatedly both with and without the choke there does not seem to be any gas getting to the cylinder.  No gas smell and the plug is dry.  Carb problem, right...so I removed the carbs again and everything looks good.  The jets are still clear from the last cleaning.  I cleaned it all again and reassembled.  Still no luck.  So I sprayed starter fluid directly down the plug hole, after 8-10 kicks it starts up but only runs for a second.  I did this 3-4 times just to hear it sorta run.  You know its the simple things that make me happy.
I held my hand across the carb boot and pushed the kickstarter through and there was suction so it should be pulling the gas through but I guess it's not.  So what's next?  Is there a specific part of the carb to suspect?  I sprayed cleaner everywhere, all the little holes and passageways seem clear.  
Thanks,
Scott

Also if someone would like to tell me more about the resistor I would appreciate it.  I have not actually looked in the cap because I have a big blue spark and bigger problems, but that could be next.
