Adam, I had a similar problem after I completed the rebuild of my 1967 Mk3. I too had a fuel filter near the tank and before the fuel pump - both were clear but the engine was starved of fuel. The problem turned out to be very fine rust particles in the tank (it hadn't been used for 10years) were blocking the fuel pipe before it reached the first filter. I tried draining the tank about 3 times before I resorted to draining, removing, leaving to completely dry out and pouring about 2ltr of small pebbles into the tank and giving it a real good shake. This loosened up a ton of rust that poured out with the pebbles. I then used a vacuum cleaner with a long flex hose to clean out the remainder and refitted the tank. I've had no problems since.
