Ok, I finally got out to check it out. Due to the positioning of everything, it would be a huge PITA to disconnect the inlet line to the pump without removing the pump first, and I really don't want to do that. I figure start with the easiest and work up.

I have a filter between the tank and the pump. I disconnected the line before the filter and had no fuel coming out. Then I hooked up my mightyvac to the line and gave it a couple pumps. after that the fuel was flowing freely. Hopefully this resolves the issue. I will check back in once I get the fuel line hooked back up between the pump and the carb. Thanks for the help.
