Well, first off, I'll take it that you have a chokeless carb. If so, the best starting method is to give the engine two full pumps, then try starting it with NO gas. If you try pumping or giving it gas while starting, after the first initial two good pumps, it's not going to want to start. As far as enough fuel, with the engine off and your pump on, (I'm guessing you have an electric pump), pump the carb by hand and watch to see fuel squrting into the carb. You should clearly see it squirt.
