Default HOLLEY CARB TROUBLE? I GOT NO CLUE

Ok this isnt for a mustang but its automotive so I think ill try. Me and my dad are buildinga 37' Chevy pickup with a chevy 350 blah blah blah. So anyways, were running a Holley Street Avenger 650 single pumper carb. The truck just stopped running the otherday and Ive narrowed it down to a fuel problem. I have gas being pumped through the line all the way to the carb. When taking the carb apart last night, there was no fuel in the primaryfloat bowl, but in the one for the secondarys there was fuel. I cleaned all the jets, everything. What the hell could it be? Float level? But nothing was changed on the carb, one day it just stopped running?

Yea a little piece of debris got past the fuel filter (you DO have a fuel filter, right?) & clogged the fuel feed to that bowl . Blow it out with compressed air
