I have a slight issue, I'm not getting fuel to the fuel filter. The issue started today, I was testing the motor before I went out and I was pumping on the primer bulb and I got no fuel to the filter. I recently rebuilt the fuel pump and it was working great no issues. Then I come out today pump the bulb and the fuel gets the inlet of the pump but won't go no further. I disconnected the inlet hose going to the fuel pump and fuel went everywhere and the bulb is extremely hard. It like the fuel pump is clogged and won't let any fuel throw..but, I just rebuilt the pump and everytime, I pumped the bulb, I got fuel to the filter. Could something have clogged the pump that bad.

If the carbs are full no fuel will flow. Pull the hose off the output of filter and try again
