Berlina No Start



So I'm leaving to head home from the movies this evening my Berlina ran out of gas. No biggy...I called AAA and had them bring me some fuel. I tried turning it over again but it just wouldn't start. It would turn over but not start. I pulled the plugs to see if they were dry and getting spark. They were both. I let the car sit for a while and tried again. Same thing. No start. I ended up just having it towed home.

I'm thinking the perhaps because I let it run out of fuel it dredged up some crud from the bottom of the gas tank and clogged the filter or line. Or I have heard that you have to put some fuel in the carb or something like that?

Am I on the correct path with either of the above or should I be looking at something else? Seems like it's just not getting fuel. I can also hear the fuel pump working so I'm assuming it's not that.

Thanks,

Damian
