Tommy, If ya had a clogged carb and a clogged fuel line (they usually happen together when fuel turns to jello), it is possible that when ya replaced the carb you knocked some crud loose in the fuel line which then went into the carb and clogged the new one. Maybe take the new carb apart and get the crud out? Pass a tiny copper wire thru all the fuel passages and float valve. Do it very very gently. Maybe pipe cleaners aren't the best thing as they could release fuzzies that will further clog the works. Compressed air might be good but first remove the float, as it will bend from air pressure.

I exhausted all my solutions and then asked you guys for your opinion. Whew, I got a lot of help. The overall general consensus was that fuel filters, the fuel pump, the fuel pump diaphragm or fuel lines were clogged. A few fellas said to replace the fuel lines first, so we went to the store and got 10 feet of new 1/4" fuel line. x-- snip --x
