In addition to the rubber deterioration, if it is a stock setup there is no anti-drainback valve. It is a straight length steel line from the end attached to the frame near fuel pump all the way to the inlet in tank. No valves, no filters, one fitting. If there has been an electric pump added along the route then you would have to investigate.

If the tank sat and old gas deteriorated, there is a possibility the fuel line inlet is blocked. Inlet consists only of the open end of the fuel line positioned slightly above a shallow depression in the bottom of tank. If the gas did deteriorate or evaporate it could have congealed into a hardened varnish like material filling that depression & completely blocking the tube.
