Lets start with the model, type and code of of the engine so we can figure out what carb you have, to give you the best repair options.

Did you clean and rebuild the carb or just the fuel pump? Need more info on the engine as stated above. Basically if the fuel is getting to the fuel pump but not the carb you are looking at the fuel pump is not working 100% correctly and/or the float is not opening the inlet valve to allow fuel to flow into the carb. What condition is the float and float bowl cup? Also if you have not cleaned and rebuilt the carb you might just be spinning your wheels. Really clean the carb and blow out all the passages and jets with carb cleaner and compressed air. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

???

Check that the solenoid on the bottom of the carb is working, sounds to me like it is not.

Walt,

When I said "Basically if the fuel is getting to the fuel pump but not the carb you are looking at the fuel pump is not working 100% correctly " what I meant is that I have seen the pump diaphragms slip out of position or the springs not put back in place or even the fuel/vacuum lines put on wrong which would make the fuel pump not work 100% correctly. Fuel may be going to the pump but that is where it stops.

Stuck needle valve?

From the top.
Check fuel is coming out of the carburettor end of the fuel line.
The two spouts on the outside are for fuel the one in the middle is the impuse line don't know how many times I have found one hooked up wrong.

If the fuel is coming out of the fuel line then time to pull down the carby.
Water, corrosion, sludge all will block the fuel supply
