Blockage in the lines?

Usually my experience has been that the diaphragm in older fuel pumps will crack once its been exposed to gas and then left to sit for a given length of time. I imagine the newer pumps diaphragms are far better then they used to be.

Can you remove the pumps lid and see if it will pump then? I had that happen once where it just couldnt get the gas clear into the bowl and when I cracked the glass a hair to let the air out it flooded gas all over, but worked fine afterwards.
