Help, broken down in Africa! Fuelling issue?

Hi everyone,

I have a broken down 2005 XT660R in Liberia, West Africa. I am not a bike expert, and there are no professional mechanics here (and no parts). When I turn the ignition, the bike tries and very very occasionally manages to start, only to die in a few seconds.

Any thoughts? I have done the basic tests, all to no avail. I think there could be a problem with the fuelling system. The gasoline here is terrible and the tanks rust badly due to humidity. Could this be something as simple as a blocked fuel filter? If so, how would I test it, and can it be cleaned?

Thanks in advance for any help!
