Crack the line loose at the carb or take the rubber hose off, put a longer hose on it and put it in a bucket. Do you get any fuel when the engine is cranked going into the bucket?
If you do, it sounds like the needle is stuck in the carb, probably from sitting without being run. If this is the scenario, hook the line back up, crank it over a few times, and then get out and take the plastic end of a large screwdriver and peck on the top of the carb near where the fuel line goes in. Then try it.

Yep. Not sure whether you have the plastic lines or steel lines with rubber joining pieces, but if the latter the rubber will be bad. And I mean BAD. I had gas oozing through the sides of one line, and the pump could suck air through it as well. And, any air leak like that will kill the pump's ability to do its job.
