In all the above, I don’t remember if you checked the exhaust pathway on the motor. If it were plugged completely(mouse,etc) it would prevent the motor from drawing fuel in. Just another thought.
At this point I would pull the PH and have a look.
If you’re brave you could try to remove the exhaust cover plate screws and have a look before pulling the powerhead. They often break off when trying to remove them, so use caution.
Good point. You could always just remove the powerhead to get a closer look as well without risking breaking the little exhaust cover screws.
