Carb not getting fuel

[Eighty5ov]

So I left my project truck for some time, came back to it today and there’s no fuel coming into the carb from the accelerator pump in the Rochester quadrajet. Any help ? It worked fine couple months ago

Bowl is dry. You're going to have to crank the motor to pump fuel into the bowl.

So just crank on it ? Or how do I fill the bowl ?

You could spray brake parts cleaner down the throat after you remove the air cleaner lid. Should fire and maybe pick up the fuel before you use up all the spray?? Saves the starter and battery

Either crank the engine long enough to fill the carb, or put a little fuel down the carb vent to fill the bowl.

I usually just dump a capful of fuel into the carburetor throat, using the plastic cap from my tire foam or any other one handy. That provides enough fuel to get it to fire, and once you have some rpm the fuel pump will push fuel into the float bowl. In summer weather it should fire right up.
