The bad is that I still have a fuel problem, I had someone look at it (not a mechanic) and from going through what it could be it looks like it may be the fuel filter diagram.

what else could it be?

If it was a stoppage in the tank the primer bulb would run flat?

the primer bulb is new, the fuel filter is new the fuel filter under the cowl is new, the fuel lines are new, the carbs are clean Have fresh gas

But it being the 4th all is closed down here, but tomorrow is another day.

So it's off to get the parts
Jorge, Happy Independence Day!

Have you tried connecting a portable tank to your motor yet? If not, I urge you to do that next. Isolates the problem to fuel supply or motor. Also make sure that the valves of the fuel/water separator are open and that there is no water or crud interrupting the flow there.

Here's what I found in my supply elbow when I unscrewed it from the tank. Never really sucked the ball flat but would cut out when it reached the anti-siphon valve.

Also, when you went through the carbs, did you make sure none of the floats were sunk thereby flooding a carb?
