Thanks for the help and ideas! I went out last night, checked all the lines and have good fuel flow. I should have mentioned that I put a dirty leg on this before starting and also another filter in the sediment bowl. I Checked the filter going into the carb and found it to be really dirty so I cleaned it out, I also took the bowl off and did a quick check of everything, and cleaned out the main jet. Put everything back together and tried starting again, it cranked once and then nothing just clicks... I think the bendix is stuck. So, off onto another adventure working on the starter tonight! I'll update with what I find, thanks again!
