you need to chase the problem to the source. does the ek4 have an in-tank filter? are you using an in-line filter... i would suggest both.
1st, make sure the pressure line is hooked up from the pipe to the tank. next, pop off the fuel line from the carb, hold your finger over the pipe and crank it over. if fuel comes pouring out, it's something with your carb. if not, it's your fuel tank (air leak maybe), pressure line, fuel filter, etc...
if the problem is in your carb, start by taking the high end needle apart (count the turns!)... this is what will usually clog. when this happens to me, i'll remove the high end needle, leave the fuel line hooked up and hold my finger over the pipe and crank it... this will tell you if the high end needle is clogged before you take it apart...
just go over everything, one thing at a time... you'll find it
good luck
