Subject:1.9 no start (flooded)

HELP.....Got in my 84 Westy today to go camping and no start.  The last few
times I've driven it, it's stumbled a couple times.  I figured a bad fuel
filter.  Now no start.  I'm solo, so hard to troubleshoot.  I do have fuel
presure, but by the time I crank it and then get back to engine compartment,
I'm not sure of true reading.  It's showing about 55 lbs, though.  If I hold
the accelerator to the floor, it will occasionally try to fire.  In
checking, I found the PCV hose had a large hole in it (about size of a
quarter) and replaced with a piece of hydraulic line (all I could find in
town).  Haven't started ohming out anything yet, and my digitool is lent to
somebody.  Anyone got any hints?
