Oh the bowl had plenty of fuel in it. Just isn't sucking it up through.

Remove the gas tap and check it is clean, check there is no obstruction in the pipe from tank to carb - work methodically from where the gas is right through. In the carb the float valve may be stuck, or float level too low.....

I had a clogged jet on mine once. The ethanol in the gas eats up the fuel lines inside an gunk can float to the carb an get sucked in the jets.

I took it apart an looked like the slow jet was clogged up. I blew through everything to make sure. I'm gonna put it back together tonight to try it.
