If gas squirts out of the line your problem is the carburetor. If not pull the line where it exits the fuel pump and crank the engine. If you get gas, the line from the pump to the carb is plugged. If you don't get gas pumping there & the pump is new I'd suspect the line from the tank to the pump. Good luck.
