Do you happen to have an inline fuel filter between your fuel pump and your carburetor? When I bought my 53, it had Carter fuel filter with a sediment bowl. It had sat for awhile in the previous owners yard. When I tried to start it, there was no fuel getting to the carburetor. We thought it was the pump. After replacing it with a new one, it still was not getting fuel. We took the fuel filter off and hooked the fuel line directly into the carburetor. Started with no problem. I took the fuel filter bowl off and found that the rubber gasket had melted together. This elimated the slits in it that allow the fuel to run through it in to the carburetor. Just a simple thought that is pretty cheap to fix. Hope that one of these ideas help you out.
