It most likely sounds like you have burned up the fuel pump. Electric pumps DO NOT like to be ran dry as fuel acts like a coolant and lubricant for them. It is possible to still get some flow from a fuel line but it not enough. It takes about 38 psi to run the engine. What you are describing is a very lean condition with how you keep it running keeping fuel demand at minimum.

The fuel pump is easy to replace as there is an access cover under the rear seat bottom. Once the access plate is removed you will see the top of the fuel pump sending unit. The pump is built into the sending unit.
