1970 Volkswagen Beetle 149K miles

Yesterday I ran my 1970 VW Bug out of gas. I put gas in and it started right away. I drove for 10 miles and parked it. This morning It started and ran for 2 minutes then stopped and wouldnt restart. I thought the fuel filter was clogged, so I replaced it. I am noticing that the new filter is not filling with fuel. Does anyone have a suggestion on what to do next, or what the problem may be?

Hi there,

You will have to check for fuel flow at the fuel inlet of the carby, if no flow (even on crank over) check the fuel pump is working, stat here.
