Ford 640 Carburetor issues

Had fuel leaking out my carb air intake so had it rebuilt by local mechanic. Now i cannot get any fuel into the carb. Nothing is blocked and i get fuel into the glass filter bowl (if I lossen the nut holding the bowl) Any ideas about this? Thanks

How do you know your not getting fuel into the carb have you pulled the carb drain plug out and have no fuel?? Or are you going by the fact the sediment bowl does not fill when you have taken it off and put it back on??

If you do not get gas out of the drain plug then good chance the float is stuck or not adjusted correctly

Tap on the carb drain plug with a hammer handle.
The handle, don't hammer on it!
If the needle is just stuck that will likely jar it free so you get fuel.
