Fuel Problem

Hey guys, My 98 paul smith isn't sending any fuel to the engine. I have removed the tank and all parts, checked the pump, cleaned the filter and it all seems to be working fine. Today I replaced the relay for the fuel pump and still no joy. All other fuses and bits and bobs seem to be working fine.....
