I think you overlooked the obvious. You said the gas tank makes a sucking sound. Betcha the gas cap vent is plugged. You might be creating a vacuum in the tank and the gas will not flow properly to the carb.
Also check the air box drain tube. It should be hanging down from the air box to the bottom of the frame. It should have a plug in it. Pull the plug to drain any mung out and replace the plug. The plug is there to seal the system against unfiltered air from entering the air box and hence the engine. Oh yeah...........Welcome.
