if it cranks over it is not the starter, either it's not getting fuel or it's not getting any spark.

I'm not much of an expert. But as far as I know the fuel pump needs to be submerged in fuel in order to function properly (so it doesnt overheat, I believe) Maybe when you ran out of fuel you busted the fuel pump?
