Thank's Mike -
Before starting the motor I drained the fuel tanks & other than some
funky-colored fuel, I didn't really notice any particles or flakes of paint in
the container that I drained the fuel into.
That being said, I will definitely check the fuel line going into the pump.
Also - where would you recommend getting the tanks boiled-out at?

Rob, it sounds very much like blockage of the fuel line, before the pump.
Tiger gas tanks tend to accumulate junk at the bottom, when the car sits for
awhile. This crud ends up blocking the fuel line into the pump.
The diagnosis is to pull the line, blow it out with air (backing the
blockage back into the tank) and see if that helps. That may take car of it
for awhile, but the solution is to pull the tanks and have them boiled out.
