First try taping on top of the carb when cranking. Check fuel psi and volume. Remove the fuel line and filter blow some air in to the carb. You might have to remove the top of the carb and clean out the bole

When I cracked it I did here the fuel pump come on. And it has a fairly new fuel filter on it. I haven't had much time to check it on but I will be doing anything I can allay tomorrow.
