Check fuel pressure, you may need a new fuel pump, float or gas filter change.

Did this ever get a resolution. I have one and have to pt a tad of gas in it to start. Running 50 to 55 lbs pressure on the rail and no pressure drop after shutting it off. It idles great but soon as you hit the gas it bogs down and or runs rough but idle fine. New fuel tank because old one was rusted possible clogged injectors?

Guess the fuel pump got damaged with the rust. New fuel filter on it already and key on before engine start only 40lbs of pressure before putting pump back in the new tank rubbed the filter on the pump to take off the rust i could see. Damage could be inside pump. Guess after this round of sea foam will drop it again if it does not start to pick up pressure.
