Fuel problem possibly found...

So I just bought a new project a couple of months ago but some things came up and life took over all my time and focus. So I had to let it sit for a bit. So fast forward to last weekend and I finally got time to start on my new project. As I go to move it in to the shop for some assessment of what all needs to be done and to get a game plan together it didn't want to crank right away like before. So the battery ran down pretty quick from sitting for a bit but I put a charger on it and charged up pretty quick. So I came to the conclusion that it wasn't getting any fuel. So I checked the fuel filter and yea it could have stood to been changed so I did. Still wouldn't fire up. So then I checked to make sure that fuel was making its way to carb and to my finding not really. So I put a new manual pump on it and still nothing. CRAP! So I then thought well maybe it has a little trash in the carb. So pulled it off to check it out and this is what I found. So my question to you all is... Have you ever seen a carb after it has sucked a tank of sugar gas? 😡 I am pretty sure it is sugar that someone thought my truck needed. I dug some out and let it dry and yes tried a very small portion lol and it was sweet and also had the obvious strong taste of gas. I wish knew who did this... Just 5 minutes is all it would take. Lol
