I recently replace my fuel pump in my 1989 Honda accord (carbureted).
I hooked all the lines back up the way they were, and replaced the
fuel filter by the tank. I am still not getting fuel to my carburetor
after the new fuel pump was installed. Any ideas why this is
happening? It has gas in the tank. I wonder if the new fuel pump is
defective

how did you determine that the old one was defective?

It may not be the fuel pump. check all your lines. You are probably
sucking air instead of gas.

Is the pump running? Are you getting battery voltage at the pump connector?
