If you’re suggestions of adding a small electric fuel pump is an option I will look into that.

No. Why add another point of failure? Fix what you have.

First issue is finding out why there is no fuel coming from the tank. Possibly debris stuck in the pickup tube.

I covered all of the above With no luck.
Bottom line is Both vacuum and electric pumps not getting fuel to carb.

So the hose going TO the carb is plugged or highly unlikely the carb inlet port is plugged. Carb needle stuck closed?????

Pull the carb from the engine. Remove float bowl. Connect fuel line from pump/tank. Should flow into the carb bowl area dripping on the ground. You can test with water if you like.

Figure out why you are not getting fuel.

New carb. New fuel lines. New filter.
Engine runs fine if I continuously spray gas into carb from spray bottle.
