I thought it was a bad fuel pump which it wasn’t then I thought the vacuum advance wasn’t performing on the old stock dizzy so I replaced the whole dizzy which didn’t make a difference. I took the carb apart again and went through the instructions which I’m 99.9% sure it’s put together properly.

Did you remember to prime the line after installing the fuel pump? If you don't prime it it'll just suck air.
