Have you taken the little plastic inlet off the fuel pump and checked inder the gauze/filter for signs of debris?  If there is crap under that 99% you will need to remove and strip your carbs.

Im going to check the fuel pump gauze tonight... i did order a fuel pump kit for $32 and am going to check out the carbs with a mate on the weekend.
