bertsmobile1,
I removed the fuel pump outlet like you said, no output. I replaced the fuel pump, gave it another shot of ether, and it started!
Ran pretty rough, which was to be expected, but it surged even when warmed up. Since it was sitting all summer, I figured the carb needed to be cleaned. Pulled the engine shroud and found a huge mouse nest. Cleaned that up, pulled the carb/manifold, and as suspected the fuel bowl was stained from ethanol/moisture.
Cleaned it all up, sprayed SeaFoam through the jets, blew them out with air, put it all back together. Runs like new.
Thanks again for all your help!
