Am I supposed to be seeing gas squirt into the carb when I open the accelerator? Because I'm not.

I'm trying to diagnose why the car won't start. I'm leaning towards a fuel issue. I had to prime the pump with injected fuel in order for it to actually start pumping anything the first time I ran the car after installing the new pump. Been a little over a week since that one start, and I can't get it to fire at all now. Didn't have this problem prior to the new pump.

Problem with the carb? Problem with new pump? Something else entirely?

Also, when the car was running last week the fuel in the bowl was nice and clean. The next day the fuel in the bowl had a strong yellow tint. I can't be seeing oil in the fuel again, can I? Is the fuel leaking back in from the carb (which is probably dirty on the inside)?
