You probably need a fuel sending unit- be aware that the aftermarket sending units have poor quality strainer socks.
I would re use the old sock or remove it completely and use an inline fuel filter pre lift pump.

An inline fuel filter is what you would have on your riding lawnmower or snowmobile.
you would need to cut the fuel line and install it between the tank and the frame mounted electric fuel pump.

Oil pressure switch might be bad-it powers the lift pump when the engine runs.
Air leak is still a factor.
