Upon first look there was no fuel in the filter can. The gauge works, but I put three gallons of fuel in the tank, just to make sure. Still no fuel flow. So I put a new mechanical fuel pump on it. In doing so, I found odd debris in the bottom of the fuel heater. Appeared to be fibrous with fine shinny wires in it. I'd say it restricted a quarter of the fuel flow. Finished installing the pump, after cleaning the heater bowl and she still gets no fuel up to the filter. Think maybe the filter is coming apart and might and been what was in the heater bowl ? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
