Red,
By any chance, do you think that there is water in the fuel lines?  Try 
disconnecting the line on the carb side of the gas pump.  If you have an 
original gas pump, there is a priming lever on it.  Pump this till you see 
fuel.  If you don't get fuel, then you either have ice in the delivery line 
or your fuel pump is shot.  Assuming that fuel does come out, then disconnect 
the line between the pump and carbs and see if you can blow thru it.  If that 
is clear, then you have a problem with the carbs, that may be mechanical or 
just ice.
I hope this helps.
