Before monkeying with the carburetor, just disconnect the line at the carb inlet and crank the engine to see if fuel is reaching the carburetor.

If it is, perform the necessary tests on the fuel pump.

If fuel isn't reaching the carburetor, you have joined the ranks of many others here, including me, who have purchased new fuel pumps that don't pump a drop straight out of the box.
