Return of no-start spider

["Matt Swartz" <swartz100@domain.elided>]

A while back I introduced the Digest to the problems that my father is 
having with his '86 Spider.  To refresh everyones memory, the car has sat in 
the garage for about 4 years and will no longer start.  Many digesters 
offered suggestions which we only recently had a chance to try out.

So here is the latest: The battery is producing 12+ volts; Engine ground 
strap has been cleaned; Fuel pump fuse is good; Electrical connections on 
fuel pumps have been cleaned; Fuel pumps are getting 10+ volts with engine 
cranking; Engine is getting spark; and Engine will run briefly when ether is 
sprayed into intake but soon dies due to lack of fuel. Finally and most 
importantly, the fuel pumps do not appear to be running.

What would everyone out there suggest that we try next?
