Here is what I have done so far in this order.

1. sprayed quick start in carb and got engine to turn.
2. inspected lines going in to carb and fuel filter
3. disconnected fuel line to carb and cranked engine (no fuel come out when cranked)
4. disconnected battery
5. disconnected lines to fuel pump

i am now having issues getting to the bolts to remove the filter and looking for advice. truck is stationary in the driveway so i can't get it up on ramps.
