Nothing changes when it is bottle-fed. (paragraph 1) That was tried with
no change.
I will try having them start it with the oil filler cap off. Maybe the
crankcase breather has gotten plugged up. (Paragraph 2)

Will it run when fuel is applied like you do with Diesel Purge? If it
does the blockade is between the tank and the lift pump.
If there is serious crankcase pressure (like when the crank breather is
blocked), it will shut off the fuel shutoff valve within seconds after
the engine starts.
