Nothing will happen if you loosen the 4 screws on the cover.../The inlet needle under the diaphragm is opened when the diaphragm pushes on the end of the lever...Blowing into the tank won't get fuel past the lever unless you can blow 10 lbs pressure...No one can....

Sometimes just getting the fuel in the pumping section will get a dry carb going. Been there...done it. Now once he gets the engine running good...leave a little fuel in the tank in the airplane.
