Do you have a Racor-type fuel filter? If so, my bet is that it’s clogged. No doubt the remaining crap in the bottom of the tank was again stirred up. This is a pretty common problem. Also, if you have a Racor filter make sure it’s a 30 micron. I’ve seen many boats with 5 micron filter elements installed and they clog if you look at them sideways! Andy
