I have a problem

[Jeremy_5]

I just finished bending and puting a new fuel line on, the one from the pump to the carb, but now the engine won't start. I can get it to start if I pour fuel down the carb, but then it will stop shortly afterwards. So I am assuming my fuel pump has went out and I am not getting any fuel into the engine. It has a new fuel filter, and none of the lines are kinked or damaged. What do you guys think? Is it the pump? Why would it suddenly go out after I replaced the line? any other thoughts on what it could be
