Awesome thanks for all of the great advice and hints!

Well after leaving the fuel lines disconnected for a bit fuel began to stream out of the line, so I hooked it back up to the pump and still nothing. Must be the pump I decide so I go downtown and pick up a new one from napa, come back and try to start it just for the heck of it and it fires right up. Strangest thing. I'm thinking maybe it was a bad vapor lock situation? What do you think would have caused this to happen?
