if only one tank would choke off like that, i would blame the strainer in the tank for being clogged, but both tanks wouldn't randomly get to that point at the same time.
i once had an 86 where the tank selector valve started sucking air and the carb ran out of gas with 2 full tanks. there was no quick recovery, it required bypassing the valve until a replacement could be found.
many of us running older rigs like to install a clear universal filter right before the fuel pump where its easy to inspect, as it prevents problems AND shows any problems with excessive sediment coming through the lines
