Starting and running weakly sounds like a fuel problem, though. How much gas was in the tank? If under 1/4, it would be the prepump.
I had a similar problem in my '88 900S - one day, at about 175k miles, it ran very weakly and wouldn't start. It did this twice in one day. The first time, I put 5 gal of gas in and it started again. The second time, it wouldn't start.
After I got it towed home, I replaced the fuel filter and it started right up and ran for another year and a half (until the body gave out.)
The old fuel filter on that one was pretty well filled with crud - it hardly dribbled anything out when I took the fittings off of it. The old fuel pump didn't quite have enough pressure reserve capacity left to push gas through the "ultra filtration" caused by all of the stuff in the old filter.
You may want to consider replacing the fuel filter first to see if that lets it run.
