First I would loosen the thumbscrew on the bottom of the sediment bulb & see if the gas will flow faster. If the bowl was empty the trapped air in the bowl will hold the fuel back. If that works tighten the thumbscrew after the bowl is full & gas starts to run down the side of the bowl.
If that doesn't help it's probably either the screen plugged or the tank outlet plugged with debris. Had the latter happen once on one of my SMs. What I do on my older tractors is to remove the sediment bulb housing from the bottom of the gas tank (be sure to have the proper size plug handy to put into the tank). I then get a1 1/2" long piece of copper tubing, drill out the inlet on the sediment housing so the tubing will fit tightly into it. Insert tubing into housing so there's about an inch sticking up and put the housing back into the tank. That raises the tank point in the tank so that any debris in the tank is below that. You won't have near as much problems with debris plugging the inlet & you don't lose much tank capacity.
