David W: have you checked the petrol supply pipe to the carburettor which runs along the chassis? The location of the fuel pipe is conveniently situated for it to be trapped by an unsuspecting mechanic when jacking up the car.
Irrespective of what pressure you have in the pump, the flow will be reduced if the pipe has been squashed or deformed.

I have the car on stands at the moment, so I will take the opportunity to inspect the full length of the fuel supply pipe. Thanks.
I really hope to get this car back on its tyres by the end of the week even if I don't do all the little jobs that I had planned while it was on stands. This time of year is best for driving fun here in Florida!
