So, presuming that you don't have bad fuel from a recent fill, my thoughts would tend toward the fuel pump.

Remove the line from the pump to the secondary filter and put it in a container. Crank the engine for 15 seconds and see how much fuel is delivered. I don't remember the exact spec for the pump, but, you must see at least two ounces of fuel........otherwise the pump has failed.
brian is a smart guy he will get through you through this
