Can anyone tell me how to tell

Can anyone tell me how to tell if the fuel pump is operating properly on a 1970 Johnson 4hp ? I recently rebuild the carb it fires up but then restricts for fuel. I checked the vent on he tank and its working any suggestions before I spend $100.00 on a new pump. Thanks

Check the o-rings in the fuel

Check the o-rings in the fuel hose connector...a complete new fuel line is available in walmart for under $20.00
