Are you saying the fuel doesn't pump through the line to the carb (Clogged line) or the carb float bowl doesn't fill (Stuck float)? Oddly I have seen this and after pouring an ounce or two down the carburator throat and start engine the problem went away. Vapor lock maybe.

"Does is pump up when installed on the engine. Maybe the cam eccentric is damaged. Is the fuel filter a new installation. If so, did you install it too high. Or - it is possible that the new filter (If it is a spin on type) has a damaged oring sucking in air. recheck the filter head to see if the old filter oring was stuck behind.
