Same thing happened to me, though with a different vehicle. Problem was the previous gas that was in the tank basically turned to varnish during the sit up. I had to drop the tank and flush it clean. (I used paint thinner) Pour it in and shake it around, 2 or 3 times. Then pour in some more and let it sit overnight. Drain that and reinstall tank, and fill with new gas. Also get some high quality carb cleaner and clean out the fuel lines. Also replace the gas filter. (CHECK IT FIRST....THAT MAY BE YOUR ONLY PROBLEM)
