Yes there is free flow to the fuel pump. The filter between the tank and the pump is new, i put on a new pump as well. If you disconnect the line from the carb it will pump correctly. When you hook that line back up it will pump all the fuel that is in the filter out but the filter wont fill back up. It is a clear filter and you can see some tiny amounts of fuel flowing in it but not much at all. I have the carb off, going to install a rebuild kit this weekend hopefully that will solve the issue. the thing that really bugs me is that it was running fine until i let it set for about two days with the front end up on ramps while i changed the clutch. then when i started it and backed it down thats when the troubles started.
