Default Fuel problem

I was given a 2000 polaris xpedition 325. The carb is not getting gas. I have track the last spot of to the fuel pump. The line from the pump to carb is only getting a few drops in it. The vaccum line I have replaced on the fuel pump and it seems to have good vaccum. Could the fuel pump be bad or should I be looking at something else.

Just pull the vacuum(impulse) line and fuel supply lines at the carb and use a mityvac on the impulse and see how much gas flows. If it's weak stream,could be a weak pump or even the fuel valve could be stopped up.You can eliminate the fuel valve as the problem by pulling the line going from the valve outlet to the pump inlet and turning the valve on. Should flow out in the on and reserve position. If you narrow it down to a fuel pump,they're getting ridiculously cheap on ebay.. Less than 10 bucks.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fuel-Pump-Fit-Polaris-Sportsman-325-400-500-600-700-1996-2010-2520227-3085275-/121693604623?hash=item1c55810b0f&vxp=mtr
