Should fuel be flowing?

If you really need to know if the fuel pump is working, disconnect it from the carb and place the end in a plastic bottle/container (I would also remove the coil to distributer wire just in case) and have someone crank the engine. I've used a large water jug in the past.

Should get a good pulsing squirt of gas come out not just barely trickling out.

Use caution and make sure you don't have any leaks in the container.
