Try it with the gas cap off,,

If it were mine, and still did it,,
I would set up a nurse tank (it would look like an IV bottle) and feed the carb directly, no tank, or pump, involved.

Only if it then runs, can you start looking for a problem.

I bought a two year old tractor, the FIRST thing I did was empty the fuel tank, flush it, and fill with clean fuel.
Now, I admit, that was a diesel, but, I did not like the way the fuel "looked"
The tractor ran MUCH better after cleaning the tank, and changing the fuel,,,
