Default Stage I hop up kit problems

My son and I just installed a Stage I kit on a honda 6.5 hp clone engine. I spent several hours installing the parts and had to make numerous modifications just to get it all to fit. The bottom line is my son and are disappointed we can not get it to run. It will not pull any fuel. T he engine has ALWAYS started. I have fuel in the float bowl so I assume the fuel is gettiing in, but it was not pulling on its own. I do get spark. I had to go the way of gravity to feed the carb. I just do not see how the mechanical fuel pump is supposed to work. If someone can comment after loking at my pics I would love to hear what others have to say. Thanks!
