Help with fuel flow issues after carb clean

So I derusted my tank and cleaned my carb on my Puch Newport. Now I can’t get fuel flowing into the carb. When I have the fuel line disconnected from the carb and turn the petcock on it flows freely. Then when I put the line back on the carb very little to no fuel passes through. When I try to prime the carb it doesn’t seem to be getting fuel.

It ran decently well before I cleaned the tank and carb and now won’t kick over at all. Help!

Sounds like the float valve may be stuck .

Stuck float, clogged filter in inlet, etc
