Have you checked the fuel pump, perhaps you never ran out of gas to
begin with, or when you did the fuel pump went bad.

no. Break the fuel line loose at th carb and check to see if your receiving
fuel to that point. If not, check the fuel pump...

word has it (from me)

if you run out of gas, the injecters can malfuction. and close up, I was
advised to check these and /or replace them .
id you are getting frel from the fuel pump, then the injectors might have
gone bad, or clogged.

my sources are (me) cause this happened to my maro when i ran outa gas. :P
1) check fuel pump,
2) check injectors if 1 is ok.

It is quite possible for the fuel pump to fry itself when/if you run out
of gas.  It won't usually happpen the first time, but if it's happened
multiple times it much more likely.  It's one of the reasons they tell
you to be very careful to not run out of gas with a fuel injected engine
as the pump is cooled and lubricated by the gas.
