How to get it running

Dang nam it D. Hearne. You sound like my wife. She says "give me some cash" and I take out the trash.

UNVMATT asked how to get to the fuel pick up.

At the front-bottom of the tank you will see a circular ring with hoses going in. Remove the hoses. With only a few gallons of fuel you should not have a problem. Inside the ring you will see a slotted retainer. Use a screwdriver and a hammer and gently unscrew. This will allow you to remove the pick up and clean it.
Unlike your wife, I was trying to save him from doing more or possibly unnecessary work. Easier to diagnose the problem first than to just start removing parts without knowing which one's the problem. :D
