OK well first off check the fuel filter located near the fuel tank it should be a nice yellow/orange colour inside if not change it...then remove the pipe to the carb from the pump, attach a tube to the pump and point it into a cup or some thing.Get a friend to crank the engine over 5 times the pump should quarter fill the cup with good strong spurts.
