Default 91FZ not running

I've been running a 91FZ on a BigStik I bought back in December. Has run flawlessly up until the last trip to the field. I followed my normal preflight and after fueling, went to fire it up. It would not start.

Fuel was going into the regulator port, but not from the regulator to the carb. I dropped some fuel into the carb and it fired off immediately, but died as soon as the prime was burned off. Still no fuel in the reg-carb line. Took the cover off the reg, cleaned it out, blew through both lines, clear, and tried to fire it off again. Still the same. Checked tank, A-OK, all lines good, etc.

Anything else I should check before I order the regulator soft parts from Central Hobbies?

Default RE: 91FZ not running

Pull the HS needle out and flush the line from the regulator to the carb with raw fuel under pressure, I use a syringe, and see if that helps.
