If it pulls a vacuum, the lift pump is fine. You have an obstruction in the tank, hose, or inlet to the water separator.
Welcome to OTT
Yrs ago I owned a M4900 that acted similar pulling vacuum in WS bowl. I located a clogged fuel passageway in water separator housing. Also check to be sure fuel tank is venting so not to create vacuum in tank as fuel is exiting.

Here is a long shot, but an easy "try it". Check the breathers in the fuel cap. If clogged, no air in, no fuel out. Try starting and running with the cap off, or loose.

Over my 9 years here on OTT, several folks have found some crud plugging up the inlet to the separator, just like Jim did.
Thank you I guess I'm going to have to take the tank off and clean it. I was hoping to avoid that labor intensive task.
Thank you, I had actually thought of that and tried running it with the cap completely off. It must be something in the fuel tank.
Thank you, I had actually thought of the cap vent and tried running it with the cap removed completely. I will definitely check the WS assembly for any obstructions.
