This is why I like my fuel pressure gauge. There are several things that can stop the flow of fuel and only some of them show up on a vacuum gauge.

I finally tracked it down to a loose bleed screw on the Racor. It sounds like your problem may be either air in the line, or gunk in the tank fouling the pickup tube. I have an outboard primer bulb in the fuel line just before the Racor, so pressurizing it is easy, little bubbles coming out somewhere is a clue; the bulb also allows a really fast reprime of the engine. We were under way again in 30 minutes. Alternatively, it might be worthwhile pulling the pickup tube and seeing if the filter on the end is grotty.
