Fixed fuel leak below battery tray now car won't start Options

[cbuehling]

Hi, the cloth/rubber fuel hose connector connecting what looks to be into the fuel filter under the battery tray (reachable from underneath, next to the right rear break cable) fell apart today, just worn out. I have two Webber carbs.

I fixed it with a new hose and two clamps, the plastic line itself seemed perfectly fine. Before the fix I drained all the fuel from the fuel line.

Now after putting fuel in again the car won't start, it feels like the carbs are not getting enough fuel, I can keep it alive a bit by kicking the gas pedal but I don't get both carbs to fire. I tried putting a bit of fuel on the carbs, helped a bit but not sustainably.

I checked that the clamps are not too tight didn't change anything.

Does anyone have any ideas? Could I have gotten air into the fuel line that I can't get out, could there be debris from the old hose in the line?

Any help appreciated. Thanks.
