    Sounds like you have good fuel flow, but it could have something choking the supply. Shut off the tank (to reach the valve go behind the sheet metal on rear and under tank on the right side). Remove fuel line going to water separator, attach air line with regulater (or use an air gun "messy"). Blow back thru line into tank. The line has a stand pipe so debris doesn't plug it right back up.
