Pump?
Needle and seat?

If it runs with you forcing fuel in ignition seems ok. Try looking at fuel supply? Kinked pipes, all that stuff?

Is it a turbo car or NA

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Kick it! Not helpful but may alleviate frustration!

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.
