Answer 1

its the pump take it out and test it check the ground and other connections,also the screen on the pump if its got rust and whatnot on it it cant pump if the pump was good

check for a restriction in any lines, make sure they are free.

Answer 3

does water enter into the equation?  probably need to pull the carb. and do a little cleaning.

Answer 4

Could be a air leak in the fuel line check the connection>Check the gasket on the fuel filter> Not enough fuel in the tank< Fuel pump not strong enough> Start Engine on carb cleaner till fuel get to engine>
