Why isn’t fuel going to the carb?

Thanks for all your replies! I actually got it running yesterday for the first time. The fuel started going to the carb. I just needed to pour gas in the carb a while until the pump began working. I’m guessing the fuel filter is okay then, since it was running for at least five minutes.
Sounds ok
But if you go out for a drive and it dies on you, keep my advise in mind and pop the gas cap off
