    The pinched way obviously isn't the right one, the other way was probably the correct way but you might have had an airlock in the line. This can happen if you have a dip in the line. The fuel is trying to go down but the air is trying to go up & they deadlock. Connect it to the tank, disconnect it from the carb, hold that end down & open the petcock until fuel comes out then reconnect it to the carb. This should get all of the air out.
    A whole bunch of trikes.
