Take the air cleaner off and look down the throat of the carb with the engine turned off.

Manually goose the throttle.

If the accelerator pump is working, you will see a squirt of fuel into the center of the carb and you'll here the spritz.

If you don't see or hear the gas squirting out, then your accelerator pump is bad.

If it's working, your problem lies elsewhere.
