Default RE: Priming problem

I already have clear blue fuel lines, so I can see through the lines to see the gas flowing. Also, the only way I can get the fuel from the tank to the carb is if I blow on the tank-to-pipe fuel line, but then it will start then die after a couple seconds. I think the problem is that gas isn't getting sucked out of the tank at all. I've checked the manifold screws, which were a little loose, so I put thread lock on them and tightened 'em up. I checked all the fuel lines to make sure they are connected to the tank, pipe, and carb well. I checked to make sure my fuel filter wasn't dirty. I looked at the L-coupler (it's a peice of crap, but the hobby shop I went to didn't have the exact manifold I want, so I had to use the stock coupler) very well for cracks. I can't think of ANYTHING that could be making it not suck up gas, and it's making me mad. HELP![sm=confused.gif]
