Assuming the fuel filter has been replaced, I would suspect the fuel pump is weak. Do a fuel pressure test. It should have 60 to 66 psi if it is a 4.3L engine or 41 to 47 psi if it is a 2.2L engine.
2003 requires priming the filter with a suction devise. 2004-2009 will self prime by turning the key on for 10 second and then cranking until it starts.
you should try priming it by spraying starter fluid or gas or anything flammable enough to start the car into the throttle body then start it The use of starting fluid is not recommended by most engine manufacturers The priming method will vary from year to year, make to make.

Don't know what model you have but mine starts this way: start switch to on ..throttle in lock start position..choke out...pull three times...push choke in and pull to start...mine starts every time this way...
2 stroke or 4 stroke? If it is a 4 stroke carb model, it has a few accelerator pump. To start you must connect hose prime bulb, pull choke, twist throttle from slow to full throttle 3 times then attempt to start. If you do not twist throttle on the 4 storkes it is hard starting.
The easiest way to start a KX85 off road bike is to make sure the transmission is shifted to neutral. Then, turn the throttle three times and release. Depress the kick start pedal a few times. If the engine starts to run, quickly turn the throttle a little to give it gas.
No choke ,no accelarater pump.
cold start switch on the side of or on top of the throttle body.
If the engine starts and runs but will not respond the the accelerator have the throttle linkage checked. It sounds as if it may have become disconnected somehow.
we have a ford escort lx and it wont start without the gas throttle half way then it starts but is very rough but wont idle by itself
if you need priming fluid to start it then it means you need a carburetor adjustment because it isn't primed
if the vehicle will start but only when the throttle is almost all the way open it could be the iac motor on the throttle body . look in a manual and you will see where it is 5 minutes to pull out and clean and the engine will run perfect
