I would try using the gas can trick. This way you will know if the problem is between the pump and carb, or between the tank and the pump. Old rubber fuel line can get rotten and with suction, actually close off fuel flow. Also, the pickup in the tank can plug up as well as the sock on the end of it. By eliminating these things, you will have a better idea what needs to be fixed during reassembly. Good luck.
