w114 230 zenith carburator problem

Hi guy's , i've been trying to start my '71 230 that i've bough for parts earlier this year.

Yesterday i've installed an ignition coil and got fire to the plugs.

Poured 10 litres of fuel in the tank and tried to start it.

The mechanic fuel pump worked as the fuel filter filled up.

The fuel line between both carburator are full of fuel , yet no fuel seems to enter the carburator.

I've tried to put a small amount of fuel directly in the carbs and it start right up.

Soo , is there a shut-off solenoid on those zenith carburator ?

Or do you have any idea what my problem might be ?

Thanks !
