what we did to issolate the issue between the fuel pump and the carb was hook up a spare lawn mower tank directly to the carb. A helper simply holds the tank high enough to gravity feed the tank. If it runs this way, it is definately the pump... I am learning that it doesn't take much in lost pressure to keep it fom running. Main culprit for me has been the flexible fule line and the fittings from the fuel pump to the carb. Also double check the cork gasket in the top of the fuel pump. I had one shrink up in a couple of months of non use.
