XT 600E hesistant to start

My 2001 XT 600E started off yesterday morning in front of my garage normally but then died 1 minute later when it's idle and still on choke. Then I tried to re-start it many times but alas, it refused to answer. It is the first time it did to me... Battery has enough juice, I hear the krank moves and fuel tap is open. It looks like a fuel problem to me though I am not sure. A friend of mine advised me to open the drain screw underneath the carb (I'll try to find out!) and drain the possibly bad fuel/debris. Any recommendation?

I'm a happy man. I myself sorted it out. Seeing there is no fuel at the fuel tap, I took the fuel tank down and dismantled the fuel tap. It was clogged badly. So was the tank interior. I cleaned them thoroughly put fresh fuel to tank and Ta Daa! It started.

Thanks anyway.
