I'm thinking you have an air leak someplace or during that first flight it got hot enough to damage the rings. What I think is happening is that you have enough compression to activate the carb pump but not enough to get the fuel into the cylinders. Try priming through the plug hole while running some fuel with 30:1 oil. If it's a ring issue the added oil will help the rings seal and pull fuel. Look for air leakers around the reed block. The pulse for the carb pump comes from the crankcase before the reed block so the more I think about this, it sounds like an air leak between crankcase Nd carb somewhere.
