I don't seem to be getting fuel to the carb. I've got a fuel supply to the pump (tested via vacuum pump.) Fuel to and through the filter. After that it gets sketchy. I've mounted my fuel regulator to the firewall. If I disconnect the fuel lines after the filter to check progress, I will get a little drab of fuel draining out. Pondering if my fuel path is too long and high (3' hose w/regulator before carb,) my fuel pump is bad (no shower of fuel before filter when cranking,) or in all my shenanigans I haven't let the pump re-prime.
The engine starts right up with starter fluid.
