Remove the tank and recheck the hoses from the tank. There should be three. My guess is either one is kinked or you have them mixed up.

Already tried that still nothing is there a chance that fuel pump went bad because when I changed hoses around they had fresh gas in them not getting any fuel to carburetor though

WAS THE SOCK PRETTY CLEAN?
IF THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL HOSES, MAYBE YOU CRACKED ONE AND IT'S SUCKING AIR?
TO VERIFY THE PUMP IS WORKING, YOU CAN "JUG IT"
REMOVE THE HOSE THAT GOES TO THE TANK FROM THE PUMP, ADD A FEW FEET OF NEW LINE TO THE SUCTION SIDE OF THE PUMP, DROP THE END INTO A GAS CAN W/ GAS
IF THIS VEHICLE HAS A "RETURN LINE TO THE TANK" (I DON'T KNOW), PART OF THE FUEL WILL RUN THE CARB, THE REST WILL GO BACK TO THE TANK (JUST SO YOU MIGHT KNOW WHY THE FUEL GOT SUCKED OUT OF THE CAN SO FAST!)
