The needle and seat may be stuck, preventing the fuel from filling the bowl. If you don't want to pull the carby apart, tap the hose union on top of the carby with the handle of a screwdriver, this sometimes frees it up.
If there is fuel inside, you should be able to see it squirting into the engine from the accelerator pump when you give the throttle a quick flick (engine off).

Well i think so because i took the hose of the carby end of the fuel pump and put it into a bottle and cranked it over and it filled up.... Any other ideas?
Thanks
