Just to clarify on the accelerator pump, it is brand new and we now know that's not the problem. After sitting since Thursday and not having the time nor knowledge to get it running, at least to get it inside storage off it went to the mechanic again. I definitely need to learn to do more on my own.

Once it arrived there it started right up, this is after I had tried to start it before it went on the flatbed. So clearly there was a plug somewhere that worked its way loose. I doubt it was sediment or dirt in the tank that got sucked into the lines because that's all new. The sending unit failed months ago so I'm wondering if the float some how cut off the flow - though that seems strange.

Either way, the tank is getting dropped and soon I'll find out.
