Im not a weber expert but i have a feeling more info is needed.

Has it always not worked since you had it, or did it stop working.

How long has it say. etc.

Can't say the additional info makes much more sense. Best advice I can give is take it back to whom ever rebuilt the carb. My best guess is that something has plugged up, if the carb has separate needles, seats and floats for each barrel, one of the needles is sticking closed, which often happens on freshly rebuilt carbs.
