Hi:
If you have spark, will the engine start for a few seconds if you use starting fluid? If so, it sounds like a fuel problem. Have you checked fuel pump pressure? Here is a how to video if you need directions.

Fuel gauges can be rented iin some places. If you can't find one, you can get one from the Test Equipment Store site on this page. They are not expensive.

Let me know what you find.
