Is it out of the rut? Last time I got stuck in a rut and killed it I was at such an angle that the fuel pickup was out of the fuel. I had to hump jerry cans up the hill and fill the tank to immerse the pickup. Then it started right up.

i checked the fuel lines best i could and didnt see a pinch, and we pulled her out of the rut, and got her home i can still hear the in tank fuel pump, too.
could it be because we have a radical weather change? 4 days ago it was just rainy in the fortys, now its in the teens, but it had drove excellent in the snow earlyier that day...

If you have spark, then test the fuel pressure. Does it start on starting fluid?
