Hi,
I always seem to be posting my car problems on this site but the recent help Has been invaluable so I will continue with this one...
I have a datsun 521 ute with a j13 engine , it had been sitting n a paddock for 15 years when I got it and after new fuel and filters I got it running. Anyway now I can't get fuel to the carb. I took the fuel pump off and it pumps fuel by hand (moving the lever) and I have petrol in the tank. I bypassed the fuel filter to check that and still no luck.
I also blew compressed air through the lines and heard bubbles in the tank so that seems clear.
Any ideas would be appreciated?

Well, it appears you have gone upstream and everything seems OK.
Now go downstream now and check from the fuel filter to the carb float bowl for blockages/flow.
My guess is a blocked or faulty float valve in the carb.
