is pretty crazy but this also works in reverse. blow the air into the disconnected fuel line at the pump. just be ready cause the gas will come out as soon as you let off the trigger.

either way reconnect at the fuel pump and give the engine a few cranks too see if your getting fuel through the carb yet but.....

after doing all this it still may be nessacary too disconnect the fuel line at the carb and crank the engine till gas comes out that line also. "although i never had too do this part."
Thanks, that is probably the only thing i haven't tried yet. I always thought the fuel pump would have enough suction to pull the gas from the tank but I guess it is not so. I will keep at it.
