Won't start appears to not be getting fuel checked everything else
You can check if it is a fuel problem by spraying some carburetor cleaner into the intake inside the air cleaner and then trying to start the engine. If it has a gravity feed with tank above the float bowl level, check for debris in the tank, and flow through the fuel line and finally, drop the float bowl and check that the needle & seat allow fuel to flow into the bowl. If it has a carburetor mounted fuel tank (underneath) try removing the tank and inspecting the pickup screen (plastic) and the integrity of the diaphragm and gaskets. It needs to be sealed to work.

As LeeatCSEb said, It's your float needle and seat not shutting off the flow of gas when your carb bowl is full. Have your needle and seat replaced. Dwain

what engine do you have im guessing a briggs & stratton was it running previously or sitting awhile it can be a few things the flywheel key could be sheered or the points are bad or the flywheel & coil are rusted check flywheel & coil to see if rusted if so take coil off mild sand paper like 80 grit i beleave clean both to get the right gap between flywheel & coil turn the flywheel alittle bit so the magnets won't touch coil or if coil still of set flywheel to where it will touch magnets fat peice of sand paper not folded but flat sand paper about .020 gap between magnet & coil if you place sand paper against the flywheel magnet then set coil against sand paper & magnet that should give you 0.020 gap & it should start if not e-mail me i will guide you through everything to get it started

If a branch was already being chipped when it ran out of gas...you must clear the hopper of any chunks of wood in it. Pull the plug wire and use a metal pry bar to dislodge any pieces of wood. when the flywheel runs free, put the plug wire back on and the choke on. Try it now!!!

If you don't see an inline filter then the only filter is a screen in the fuel tank. Sounds like the engine is not getting the fuel it needs. Check the tank and clean as nessesary the screen maybe plugged. If you leave fuel in the tank for long periods of time with out using a fuel stabilizer your carb may need cleaning. Old untreated fuel turns into a varnish like substance. Check your fuel bowl and make sure there is not any dirt in it. You don't mention the engine manufacturer but, mine has the carb adjustment on the bottem of the fuel bowl. I have always used a fuel stabilizer and keep the tank full (filling it with a screened filter) with a added inline filter. In 20 years of my chipper-vacs life never have I had fuel problem.
