well, no i feel stupid

Put an electric fuel pump on my vw bush buggy running through the existing mechanical one. Fired it up run good got about 1/8 mile from shop it quits wouldn’t start. Pull it back I can hear fuel pump running. But no gas. So I take the whole thing apart blow out all lines change filter check float in carb rinse tank put it back together no go. Mad now walk away. Come back couple hrs later here it seems some stupid asshole was trying to pump the gas out of carb to fill the tank. I stood there laughing at myself.
