There is pressure in the fuel line running to the carb…..BUT is there any fuel in the carb bowl?

Could be that you have a simple plugged needle/seat.  Most likely can be remedied with a cleaning  (no parts required)

 

So true.  This engine has an adjustable high speed needle, not a hex drain plug.  But, there is a tiny brass drain screw on the bottom of the carb bowl.  Once the fuel line is pumped up, simply remove the brass bowl drain screw so see if fuel is actually in the carburetor bowl.  Be very careful though, those little screws are easy to lose.
