I assume the one at the carb is just a screen or is there a little filter in the 90 degree fitting?
Could be fuel pump, could be leak down. If it's been sitting 2 + years without use you should buy a carb rebuild kit and give it a good going through. If the people that owned your baby before you put ethanol gas in her you'll be cleaning gummy bears out of there for days.

I've got a step-by-step in my build thread if you've never rebuilt a carb. It's pretty easy, just keep track of the parts. Once you're done it should fire right up for ya.
