Carby Fuel won’t flow when connected to carb

[gamblesci22]

Fuel flows when disconnected from carb, but won’t flow when connected. Already pressed the primer button & unstick the float. What should I do now? Is the float stuck again, vapour lock or something else?

Is your engine new, has it been sitting for a while with fuel in it, is there heavy moisture in the area?

What happens if you hold the little drain lever on the bottom of the carb open? If fuel doesn't come out, then something has to be stuck in the seat.

Yes and if the bowl is full with fuel no fuel will flow and fill the filter.
Once the bowl fills and the engine is off fuel stops flowing even if the filter is not full.
My filter stays around 1/2-3/4 full usually.

bowl has fuel, but won’t flow even when engine turning. Can’t start it

Fuel comes out, but no flow when trying to start. It only flows when I push the button

Try tapping the carb bowl with a screwdriver handle to get the float unstuck

But sounds like ya need to disassemble and look for the reason
