Fuel pump flush?

Cleaned out my fuel lines. Should I blow out the fuel pump?

Replace it. It's not possible to clean it out with compressed air.
If you want to use it, disconnect the fitting from the carb and divert the flow to a container and crank the starter for a while to flush out any spiders, mice, rats, bats & gasoline crud.

Gas tank probably has herds of rust monsters gnawing away at the tank innards too. Have plenty of fuel filters on hand. Best to clean the inside of the tank.

Thanks. Yeah I cleaned out the fuel tank. Looks good on the inside. Had another thread on that but thought I would get an answer a lil quicker by starting a new thread.
