So my mistake, when you said filter in the carb, I thought you were talking about something different from the fuel filter. Fuel filter is brand new and facing the correct direction. I lm sure it's getting gas when I hit the pedal. Not sure if it was the correct amount. I closed both adjusters on the carb the backed them up 3 full turns. So maybe like my comment about tge house wiring being the same, I'm used to mowers where you hit it with a shot of starter fluid and if you have a a spark it will fire up briefly.
