i don't think there is a fuel pump. it is gravity fed. or with a vacum line. check your hoses and make sure there not cracked.

HAHAHA,

You can use a fuel pressure gauge to test the pump.
Or you could also check the carb floats so see if you are running out of fuel.

Hmmm.... I'm not even sure which one of the five same question posts to respond to...[>:]

I suspect you would be able to hear the pump come on once you turn the key for the prime up. Unplug the harness going to the pump, find the hot lead, put a volt meter on it, and turn the key on. If you get electricity, the pump is probably bad. If not, try replacing the fuel pump relay.

For future reference, only one post is needed to ask a question, not five.
