Oh, an after thought. Do you still have the glass bowel with sinter porous filter in line? If the sinter filter is still in line and somewhat occluded, then that can cause a fuel delivery issue. Even though it looks clean, it may be partially occluded with old varnish. Soak it in a bowl of warm/hot water that is half mixed with Pinesol. After a couple of hours, use an air compressor to blow clear the filter and watch how much gunk comes out. Do not use carburetor cleaner or it will turn into a pile of sand.
