No smoke. Kinda weird. I am in my sixties and have build carbs since I was a high school kid, don't recall any issue like this. The fuel bowl is full and it has a new accelerator pump
Do a visual on the accelerator pump shot and verify.
Do you specifically remember the accelerator pump check ball assembly being there?
Any carb with a working pump should not need fuel poured into it, or something is really obviously wrong there.
(that includes with a choke not working even)
