Damian,
You don't mention if you ckd your fuel pump? Is it still pumping fuel
at a good steady stream od just dribbeling out? Or neither one.
If it's not getting any fuel (ck by removing the tank side fuel line)
try using compressed air and blowing thru the line toward the tank, You
may have rust scale blocking the fuel inlet at the tank. JMHO
