Before you put a new pump on, drain the tank and unscrew the fuel strainer from the fuel tank sump and see what kind of trash is in the sump and screen. Then, go from there depending on what you find. I found my sump full of rust, gas varnish and the screen was plugged with a very viscous black tar. Use spray carb cleaner to clean the strainer screen and don't scrub on it, as it is very delicate and costs nearly $100 to replace.
Good Luck
