That story about the ant and the fuel flex line is a good reminder. While the flex line was not mentioned earlier with possible things to check, it is a known failure point. With the slightest disturbance or even just being put back into service some of those old and brittle lines can have the lining crack and a chunk break away to be pulled into the bore with pump suction. Almost makes a perfect check valve with increased suction pulling the lining farther into the bore and blocking flow only to have it fall back into place and let the engine run OK when at idle.
