Not getting gas to carburetor new fuel filter and pump?

i parked mt car two months approx. used my truck This past summer i couldn't get it started when i bought it put a pick up coil and set distributor ran fine.. but since i parked it i just went to start it and it cranked over wouldn't fire.. my son says its not getting gas up.. this summer I put a new fuel pump and filter on it. when he poured some gas in the carburator it would fire but die out quickly. sprayed starter fluid in it, it backfired a bit of fire and wouldn' t run? what could be wrong Ihad put 5gallons of gas in the tank to make sure it wasn't empty.

Some generic causes (no year make model, engine size, etc. given): Fuel pump, float in carb, dirt in carb, fuel pump relay, electrical problem in relay/fuse box, I've even seen a plugged/collapsed fuel line.

1)check to see if fuel pressure is there and correct. Take line off carb and disable the coil(no spark) and see it fuel comes out of line when turned over. Really should use a fuel pressure guage to get a proper psi number and less mess. Then go from there.

Make sure you have gas in tank! people have been known to siphon it out and gas guages have been known to lie.....
