The original-type fuel pump won't be the problem. I was askin
in case you'd replaced it with an electric pump or something
(common on really old cars!). I wouldn't worry about the pump
then, at this step.

But that's the best way to test it! Put a foot of hose on the
carb fuel inlet, stick the end in your mouth and blow. It's a
simple way to apply pressure to the needle and seat to see if
it's open or closed; you can hear air blowing through when open.
