Engine surges and runs out of gas

If the bulb is flat sounds like it isn’t getting fuel. Is your vent working. Is there a restriction somewhere in the fuel line fuel filter is not plugged

Tomorrow I'm going to start at the tank and work my way back to the engine checking to make sure all the hose clamps are good and no kinks in the hose. I didn't think of the vent so I'll look at that also. It probably something simple but takes time to go through it . I pretty sure it's not the tank since I cleaned it out pretty well before I reinstalled it. Glad I haven't sealed the tank lid yet

Could it be that a lot of crud was loosened up and didn't come out. Maybe clogging a screen in the pickup (which I don't see what its purpose is) , or clogging up the fuel filter, which I assume is ahead of the bulb.

Some pickups have a check valve in the elbow on top of the tank - they can get screwed up easily.
