Welcome
Are you sure you re-connected all the fuel hoses to the correct fittings on the carburetors?
You can prime the engine by dribbling a small amount (like maybe a teaspoon or tablespoon) of pre-mixed fuel+oil down the carb throats. Keep your arms clear of the carbs when you attempt to start the engine, lest it backfire. The engine should start and run for a short burst, which will help the fuel pump draw fuel.
You may need to prime the engine two or three times, after which it should have fuel supply from the tank.
If still no fuel flow, recheck all the fuel supply stuff. The fuel tank fittings are marked with very tiny letters. Fuel/water separator lid seal must be 100% good.
Fuel selector valve original? They get old and can leak air.
Also check that the pulse hoses from the crankcase to the carb rack are indeed on the correct nipples.

Do all three cylinders get warm when you run it for maybe 20 seconds?
Any red lamp warnings?
If you have MFD display, what problems is it showing?
