Replace the carb filter before doing anything else. Look to see if there are any other filters in line. If found disconnect them and see if you can
blow air through then with your mouth. If, not then replace them too.
Lot of things like fuel pump, cracked or hose, but the filter(s) are the easiest and cheapest ones to try first.
Make sure that you loosen or remove the carb mounting bolts so you can move the carb around a little when trying to start the gas line threads back
into the filter housing. Make sure you insert the new filter in the housing the correct direction. The hole in the filter goes towards the gas
line.
When you tighten the carb bolts, only lightly snug them down. I do not remember the torque on them but is isn't much. If you over tighten them you
will warp the carb.
