Default fuel lines

Trying to figure this out. I havent started the boat for about 3 months, had put stabilizer it it prior to winter but now, when I try and prime it, no fuel comes through. I replaced the bulb, today the filters and nothing, suggestions please, I am selling but certainly need the boat running. IT is an aquasport 215 explorer, 1998.

Few possibilities to check are clogged fuel vent or in tank pick up tube, bad anti syphon valve if equipped, or air leak in line.

Also, may sound silly, do you have gas in the tank ? Might have been siphoned !

Thanks for the ideas, Thought about trying to blow air through the line, to see if it is clogged. As for the gas, it aint a silly thought, and I checked, there is gas, I wish that was the problem, still trying.

Not being smart here. Check the bulb and make sure that it's on the right way. (don't ask why I am suggesting a check)
