Finally started 1299 after it being down since 2008. Parked it with barley any fuel in it and pulled the pump out to use on another car. So no fuel, open lines. Got everything back together and can only get it to start with starting fluid. While running it wont take any throttle and will barely idle. While its running I can easily squeeze the fuel feed line. I'm assuming fuel dried up in the line and is causing the issue but i'm not sure so more opinions would be appreciated.

fuel pump is definitely turning on? do you have a logger or link where you can run the pump to prime it? if the car is off and you can you should see pressure at the regulator if the pump is actually working. I'd be surprised that the line would clog completely.

Yea I can hear the pump running after it does for a sec. I also took the line back off the sending unit and I have alot of fuel there right as you turn it over. If I go to the feed line banjo bolt it will be dry until I crank it for awhile and then "gush" out not spray like I'm used too. No pressure on the regulator side. I have the wiring apart I think I'm gonna put a switch there temp to see if I can get it to build pressure.
