One easy way to test if the fuel is flowing is to un-hook the fuel line from
the carb and put the fuel line into a bottle. Then disconnect the coil wire
and turn the engine over a few times. This should pump fuel into the bottle
and be easily seen. If it is not pumping fuel, there is either a blocked
fuel line, the fuel pump is bad, or the gasket on the filter bowl is bad.
Check the gasket on the filter bowl and you will probably find your trouble.
