Before it cuts out, what happens when you step on the gas, are you able to rev it near the red line?

No fuel by the sounds of it , Take the outlet pipe off the lift pump and give it a spin over by a helper . stick your finger over the end and see if fuel pressure is evident by if squirting out . ( cant remember if they have a primer lever on them ??? as you could use that insted ) .
