Carb is getting and receiving fuel, bowl is 3/4 full by the sight glass but no fuel is feeding into the engine. It is bone dry. WTF???? Carb has been re-built, tested before the engine re-build and it worked fine. Please help!!
is your AP diaphragm ripped or have a hole in it? if you take your air cleaner off and look down the carb and then hit the gas you don't see any gas at all?
How long did it sit while the engine was rebuilt? Did you put it away full of fuel before the
rebuild? The old gas may have turned to varnish.
Probably will need to disassemble at a minimum and clean it up. I'd get a rebuild kit just in
case as well.

I checked all of the vacuum hoses and none seem to be disconnected, the carb sat for a few months, no fuel being dumped into the carb. Is there something I can clean it with or put in with the gas to help clear it up? Like MMO or carb cleaner?

Sounds like the easiest route would be to rebuild the carb. Soak the parts in part cleaner to free up the passages. Definitely wouldn't hurt. Good luck.

you can pop the top off and use carb cleaner to blow thru the passages, you'll be able to tell if its blocked.
the other test you can do is to spray some carb cleaner in the carb and see if it runs, if it doesn't then it might be a bad ignitor or fouled plug
13X, it is getting fuel into the carb and bowl just not spraying out of the nozzles, spark is good, already checked that twice, re-timed it 3 times thinking that i screwed it up. Poured a little gas in the carb and it hiccups like she wants to run, just won't. I will try some carb cleaner and see if I can spray it into the nozzles
