Default No Fuel

A Question Before I take my truck all apart. I was out the other day and the engine died like it had run out of fuel however there was still half tank, I called it a day anyhow packed it up. Now today I try to start the truck and it would seem the carb isnt sucking the fuel up. Even when I plug the stinger and pull the starter the fuel just sits there. Fuel lines are all good as I blew in them, no leak in tank, carb SEEMS to be sealed. Is there something I should be looking for? Maybe a crack in something?
Please be nice with your advice..

Dog, check your fuel line for cracks or pinhole leaks... may be easier and cheaper to just replace the line.. if you are getting air bubbles to the carb it isn't going to run well..

Well, After really looking at it and cleaning it up I could see nothing seemed to be cracked, so I plugged one fuel line and blew in the other, no leaks, what I did determine is that the fuel lines built up pressure, and after I stopped blowing the fue comes back at the cause of the pressure. Needless to say my lips are very dry now
Anyhow, once some fuel spilled out, I tried it again and it sucked the fuel up no problem. So I dont know if the tank can be overfilled or what, but im going bashin...
