Answer
John,

Remove the fuel pressure regulator and clean it out.  Put water dissipant fuel conditioner in the fuel tank and top it off with the best fuel available.  Then tow start it to get it going.  Be sure to check the new filters to make sure they have not been contaminated with residual water from the system.
