Default 2000 ZR-7 won't start. WTF any help asap is appreciated

Holy **** I am pissed. 2nd major problem in 3 weeks.

So I get off of work, and hop on the bike. The engine turns over but it doesn't start. I try the choke...still doesn't start. I tried starting it a good 20 times, sometimes choking, sometimes not choking, reserve tank, regular tank....Fuel Gauge is reading low, but there is plenty of fuel sloshing around in the tank from what I can see in dim parking lot light, so it can't be that. I took the tank off a little to see if any of the wires were being pinched...and it didn't look like it. I took out the spark plugs to see what the deal was, and they weren't wet at all. When I tried to start again, they were firing......so somehow gas is in the tank, spark plugs are firing as the engine turns over....but no gas is getting in there???? Motorcycle is sitting in work parking lot over night until I can get some ideas or call a shop in the morning, any help asap is appreciated. This is unreal..

Go back and recheck all the fuel lines.

Have you a service manual for your bike? That may come in handy.

My YZF600R hates cold days too. I had to leave her @ home this morning because she just wouldn't start.
