    Looks like I am not getting any fuel to the carb. I pulled the gas line and cranked it a few times and got nothing. Does that mean I have a leak in my gas line somewhere or is my fuel pump bad?

    Well, we've found at least one problem. I would undo the gas lines and blow them out with air. The fuel pickup in the tank could have crud in it. If the lines are clear, maybe the fuel pump, but I'd jury rig a gas line to the pump inlet and see if it will suck fuel from a gas can before I'd pull it off. With your history of a nasty gas tank, I'd suspect a plugged line.
