Do you have a filter inside the tank? if you do, might be dirty.

What engine is it and how old is it.

if you blow in the pressure line does fuel enter the carb? if not may be clogged carb. old dry fuel in the nipple.

Make sure your starter box is going the right direction.

Open up your high speed needle a few turns , pull open throttle linkage blow into pressure line until fuel flows free , then fire the engine up and turn the high speed needle in until it runs at adequate rpm . Tune from there
