No fuel coming through

Hi,
recently had engine out for complete strip, and put it back in van today. However cannot get any fuel through to carb. Not sure if fuel pump is working, I did a quick test by disconnecting from tank and placing straight into jerry can. Seemed to suck a little when turned over, but still not reaching carbs. I tested fuel pump pushrod when engine was out and it seemed to work ok. Tomorrow i will take off fuel pump and examine/test it but im in doubts whether that is whats wrong. I have replaced sections of the fuel line with new hose, securing with tight jubilee clips. I didnt bother replacing the rigid plastic tubing hose as it didnt seem to need it. Wish I had now =(
Any ideas why it wouldnt be getting fuel through?
