  I ran out of gas this evening....rolled right into a gas
  station.....lucky break.....but after putting gas in.....won't
  start.....unlucky break

  Fires and sputters but won't catch.

  I'm guessing some crud from bottom of tank has clogged either the fuel
  pickup or the fuel filter.

  Suggestions.....other ideas for a fix?????

  This is a 2wd 89 Westy, automatic.
