Air in fuel lines or water in diesel, nothing else will stop an old Gardner. Could be worth getting proper fuel filters eg racor type. Fuel filters need draining weekly for water and replacing every few months.

Check that lever on the back of the fuel pump where the cord is attached ,it might be left in the shut off position .
