I don't think it's the tap, I've replaced the fuel hose as well and the replacement is clear. When attaching the hose and turning on the tap, you can clearly see fuel running down and into the carby, and as mentioned before, when I originally got the mower the needle and seat were gummed up so fuel was squirting out of the primer bulb.
G'day pau13z,
I would still detach the fuel tank and fuel hose out of the carburettor and check that it's flowing out the end of the fuel hose reasonably well and not dribbling slowly. Just another thing to eliminate.
