The flexible hoses in the fuel system look OK, but are cracked and
perished internally. This allows small amounts of air to get in and the
fuel level to drop right through the system, so no amount of cranking will
work.
Replace all the fuel hoses, and pull the pump to check that the diaphragm
isn't leaking too. If you can find one fit one of the later, flat, six
valve, 'pancake' pumps.
