I cleaned my fuel system and changed fuel line from tank to fuel pump. Changed filter and also added in line filter . Can not get the system to prime . All clamps are tight , don’t think I’m sucking air any where . Anyone have an idea ?

All was running fine before I cleaned the system, not getting fuel in the glass filter . I think I’m going to try removing inline filter .So you have two filters?
You don’t have a kink by the tank do you? Where it comes into the cab (on pre-79) I find the cheaper low pressure fuel hose rated for carbs is easier to kink, especially in that spot. I use the higher pressure EFI stuff for that reason.
Pump could be weak?
Issues leading up to this?
It will take a minute or two of cranking intermittently to get fuel to the bowl.
It’s steel tubing going from pump to the carb . I will just have to go back to tank and start disconnecting lines and see if I have fuel at each pointI cleaned my fuel system and changed fuel line from tank to fuel pump.

No have not tried that yet , ran out of time last night , I will try that this evening. Thank youHave you disconnected the fuel line at the carb and crank it to see if you have fuel coming out?
I would start there.

no It’s right I checked that .Could the in line be backwards?
Thanks everyone, but I had my head up my rear . This one has two tanks and I had fuel valve in wrong position.It's a simple system. Check for any obstruction in the fuel tank. Hoses (switched supply and return), and the fuel pump. As AJ pointed out, pull the hose from the carb and crank it to see if fuel is flowing.
