With all the time and money you spent on a new carb you should get a pro to look at it. You could have a 5 min fix like a cracked hose or bad gasket letting in air. I dought the filter is your problem. And a second new carb is not your answer as i dought the first replacement was necessary. There is not much to cleaning them.

I really didn't mind the time; as stated in my original post, I enjoy tinkering with stuff like this. I agree with you about not buying the second carb...should have investigated a little more before that move.
Can't see how a leaking gasket and/or cracked hose would *prevent* the primer from drawing gas through the carburetor, though. Sure seems clogged to me. But then I'm not a "pro".
Thanks for your post...
