Try testing the fuel pump (and yes the new ones are not great)!

Remove the fuel lines from the pump.

Get a portable fuel tank (like one for an outboard engine), and connect the inlet side of the pump to this tank.

Connect the outlet side of the tank to a suitable container (in case the pump actually is working).

Remove the high tension wire from the coil.

Now crank the engine for a few seconds to see if the pump works. Even though the tank is new, the sock could have an issue.

Testing ALWAYS is superior to guessing!
