Default 1987 Marathon 3PG wont run

I've just recently became the owner (not so proud yet) of a '87 EZ GO Marathon 3 wheeler. It has the 3PG motor. The previous owner had let it set up for many years. Thanks to Dave from a previous post I got my ignition system firing well. I have removed the oiling system as it was filling the cylinder with oil. (I guess it had stuck wide open.) I finally got all the oil out of the cylendar. My problem at this point is it doesn't seem to be getting enough fuel pressure. The cart will fire and run if you spray a small amount of starting fluid into the carb, but will not run on its on gas. If I remove the fuel line and spin the motor the gas is barely trickling out of the line. Possible fuel pump failure?? I have BBQ'd my exhaust already as I assumed it would be clogged because of the excess oil in the cylinder. (Picture attached) Please let me know what my next step will be.
