Speeder,
I will try the fuel filter and will contact you if it doesn't help.
Thanks.

Jim,
so a can of b-12 in the gas tank would work? Or do I need to drain tha gas tank?

How long has the gas set in there?....according to Tim Hancock modern gas gums up in fairly short order. Does the gas smell like old paint? If so drain it and put fresh gas in...maybe a does of Techron or something similar with fresh gas. When I resurrected my old BMW after it sat for 2 years I drained the gas, put in fresh gas gas with something a mechanic recommended (B44?) and the thing started off running rough but within 5 miles was purring like new.

+1 on the fuel filter
