No, it's not beyond you. Is this a new problem? Was it running OK before this problem started? Has the vehicle been sitting for awhile? Is this the 54 pickup in you profile? It could be dirt or something blocking the float valve in the carb. Is the fuel line plugged up between the pump and carb? Maybe the fuel line is clogged between the tank and pump. Could be dirt/rust/trash/water in the tank. I suggest you hook up a tempory tank with a gas can and a piece of hose to the pump and see if it will run that way. I had a similar problem with my 50 pickup: the tank was rusted and the steel lines were plugged up. Good luck.
