could accelerator pump be worn out, and still look new...
took it out a couple weeks ago and it looked good...

just took fuel line to carb loose...turned motor over...shot stream of gas out hose the size of hose's inside diamater [1/4"]...I'd say fuel pump is ok...?

15 years???? I would replace it.....Hard to tell about the volume without measuring it.

The accelerator pump has a rubber gasket that usually cracks and fails.
