Have you tried priming the pump. Bike pumps don't like sucking air. Try connecting up the feed pipe to the tank and the delivery pipe to the
pump. Then disconnect at the carb end and suck!
Once there is fuel at the pump it should be OK.

or do as i did. take the vent pipe off the tank, attach another bit of tube and blow into it.
tastes much nicer than a mouthful of petrol and vapour.
