Thanks for the input everyone. Here's what I did today:

-Removed canister and checked fuel pump filter...looked very clean inside, almost new.

-New fuel line came in two parts - tank to front wheel well and wheel well to pump. Disconnected line at front wheel well and there was a good flow and supply of gas, so line good from front wheel back to tank. Blew out new line section from wheel well to pump and it seemed like it was free of obstructions. Checked short hose that connects forwardmost new metal line to pump, and it was free of obstructions.

-Connected all of that back up and disconnected output from pump (at the pump) that feeds fuel to carb. Not a drop out of the fuel pump output when I cranked the engine so I figured it's the pump. I took the pump off and will compare it to the one I'm picking up at the store tomorrow.
