I would look at the entire fuel system. If there's goo in pump bowl,
There's probably goo in the line and elsewhere.
TOH rebuilding the fuel pump is no biggie... TRF has the kit...
You can redo it in less than an hour with the pump still attached
to the engine block... BT, DT... Just be careful to get the right

Good luck!
