Another thing is hold your finger over the exhaust to see if it helps pull fuel into the engine. Be sure to watch the fuel line for fuel travel and don't do it long as it will flood it.

Hold your finger over the carb opening when you crank. Do you get fuel then? If not, then either something is clogged as stated before, or your engine is completely worn out.

That would actually push fuel into the carb since you would be pressurizing the tank. :D

Maybe disconnect the line from the carb to see if fuel comes out while holding your finger over the exhaust?

Take the line off the bottom of the tank and blow into the line on the muffler. Does air come out?

And I saw the fuel in the line. It is acting EXCATLY like that clip is closed. Remove that clip completely from the line and try again. If it was closed for an extended period of time. replace the line because it is now pinched.

And please hold your phone sideways when taking video. That video is very small on all computers. Holding it sideways will allow us to fill out screens with video. And give us a look around the truck so that we can have a better idea of what we are looking at.
