1. blow backwards thru the fuel line to make sure line isn't plugged ( maybe first pressurize tank to see if fuel flows forward, then blow backwards if it doesn't)

Jerry's on target to check the line. A friend having trouble with fuel supply replaced the in-tank pump only to find that his braided SS line from tank to engine was "weeping" along the length, so he replaced all of the line and rebuilt the carb. Ethanol had done a job on all the flexible parts.
