Unless the inside of your fuel tank is completely trashed and rusted out, the strainer is not going to be your problem. It's most likely just a bad fuel pump but you need to test this using a fuel pressure gauge. You may have to cycle the key on a few times because it only powers for 2 seconds on every key cycle.
