@@RedneckMechanicTurningWrenches absolutely! I several of the exact same set ups, and have fought the exact same issues. Adjust your throttle screw down, and choke down your air fuel
Pour a little fuel down the carb and try to start it. Sometimes, when you change the fuel pump, you need to prime it. This is how you do it. Cranking rpm may not be enough to get the fuel up to the carb. Was the timing off before you changed the pump?!
