You have to prime the carb to get the gas running again. The line has
been air locked by the filter being in wrong.

Prime it, get it running, 'then' shut it off and see if it drains back.

It is already drained now. Playing with it is a waste of time and money
until you test it after you have 'fixed' the problem like you did by
moving the filter.

I for one have seen your problem 'tons' of times and not once has it
been a bad fuel pump, not once.
