As I recall, the only two things between the fuel line and the float bowl are the mesh filter and the check valve that is operated by the float.

So the sequence of tests is as follows.

Pull the rotor in the distributor so the engine can’t start.
Remove the fuel line from the carb and direct it into a jar.
Crank the engine.
If no fuel squirts out, the restriction is somewhere in the line.
If fuel does squirt out, reconnect the line to the carb.
Unscrew the six bolts that hold the top to the carb body.
Lift the top enough to let you observe underneath. The check valve shaft should drop down.
Crank the engine. If no fuel squirts out of the check valve, the obstruction is in that valve or somewhere in the short path to the mesh filter.

It’s been years since I messed with my Kadrons, so others will have to double check this procedure.

For some reason, one of my Kadron carbs is not allowing gas into the float bowl.  I discovered the filter was in backwards (rookie mistake)but even when that was corrected, no gas in the float bowl.  I thought the new float valve might be sticky, so I reinstalled the old one.  The fuel pump is pumping gas.  Any ideas?
