Make sure you have fuel in the tank. If so and you can hear the pump running, you will have to drop the tank and remove the pump assembly.

the fuel pump has a pickup screen on it which may be clogged and/or one of the hoses came loose on the pump. i would pull the pump and check everything on it to make sure it is working properly. just because the pump engadges doesnt mean it is allowing the flow of fuel.
