Default Engine wont draw fule?

i have a .11 kyosho on my nitro blizzard, havent ran the engine in a little while, it runs but wont seem to keep drawing fule out the fule tank, every time i prime it, it runs for a few secs then dies, ive changed all my fule lines, i made sure my tank was sealed and freeflowing. checked my glowplug and glowplug looks great, after a few tries the engine has no trouble starting at all, drawing fule is its only problem. i pulled out the high speed needle, blew it off and blew down the hole trying to clear any obstuction, fule has no trouble drawing up to the carb when putting a finger over the exaust and priming. im kinda running out of ideas, other than tearing apart my carb at this point, any OTHER ideas? im kinda lost.

make sure your exhaust and fuel lines aren't kinked or anything. It could also be the O ring on the needle valve, but still, if there's any pressure in the tank, it'll push the fuel out. Also make sure your muffler is tight and it's not leaking around the crankcase or even cracked.
