nono, its a manual spring loaded pump to pump fuel in for start up.. then i believe it just works with the exhaust pressure to deliver more fuel..

Are you sure you just didnt have the HSN bottomend out. This would cause the fuel to be blocked from the carb. Your LSN could also be bottomend out and would cause this. There could also be debree in carb, to fix this you would have to tear the carb apart and clean it with carb cleaner or with nitro blast cleaner.
Just make sure to put in back together right and make sure not to bottom the Needles out as this could end up leading to bent needles which will cause you problems.

If you suspect there is a blockage somewhere in the carb then it's probably a good idea to completely dis-assemble it and flush the parts with wd-40, nitro fuel or "nitro cleaner". That should get rid of any dirt.
Then carefully re-assemble - using something like associated green slime on the o-rings and silicone sealant on metal-metal seals to prevent air leaks.

It should all come apart... the needles will unscrew from the brass housing, and then the brass housing will unscrew from the carb body itself.
You can take them apart completely - barrel, needles, everything. It's a good experience and you'll know your carb inside/out afterwards!
