Kevin-

I have dual Kadrons on my van.  For the first 5 years or so, no issues.  Now, however, they easily clog up after sitting even a short while.  Fortunately, they are easy to remove and the rebuilding kits are not silly expensive.  Careful cleaning and reassembly always works.  You symptoms would very similar.

    When I was first trying to start bus a few days ago - I took the fuel pump off, and was getting pressure out it by pushing it with my hand. I have a filter before and after the fuel pump. There is plenty of gas in each one - so fuel is being pumped.
    
    Bob - I'm not sure what you mean by vacuum side of fuel line?

    Assuming we are talking about a carbureted engine, I would breakdown and clean the internal passages of the carburetor(s).
    The approach has worked for me several times in the past.
