Different person,
Maybe there is a hole/ crack in the suction line from the tank, especially in a turn or loop in the line.
Also maybe the sock (in the tank) is stopped up.
I am into crude testing, even if it costs a little bit.
I would get enough rubber fuel line to reach the tank and dangle on the ground to the fuel pump (just to test). You can crawl under and do the proper fix after this works.
Just being me, and kind of ignore the "correct" way, I hook hoses up and suck on them to see if I am pulling fuel (fumes and fuel are involved doing this). I reckon hooking up a hand operated vacuum pump might serve the same purpose.
