provided the fuel pump is working if it died the last time out the bowls will be empty and there won't be any fuel squirting either.

I have an 86 martinique with the 351 engine. It will start with the help of some starting fluid being sprayed in the carb, and then run fine. But without the starting fluid, it doesn't want to start. Someone suggested get a new fuel pump, but that doesn't sound right to me... any ideas?
