Well an easy way to check the pump is to leave the air box off, turn on the fuel and twist the gas. You should see a jet of fuel from the opening of each carb. Look at the brass tips that stick up, the fuel comes from those. It should spray well, not a super thick stream but with enough force that it easily makes it into the carb throat. If it barely comes out, then start by removing the pump and cleaning it and the fuel passages.
One thing to really look for. There is a spot that the fuel comes out as it goes into the fuel tubes in the carbs. There is a small oring that goes in this location. I grabbed a standard round o-ring and it was TOO THICK. When the accel pump was reattached, the oring would squash down and since it was too thick, it sealed this opening. It is something to look for since it could be an easy mistake.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
