I've had a good carb do that on its initial filling. The float arm is so low when the bowl is completely empty that it jams against the needle. Sometimes just tapping on the carb with a plastic faced hammer fixes it. Other times I've drained the bowl and started over and had it work.

No guarantees, but that could be the problem.
