Should I replace fuel pump?

[Frankb]

I have a Wallbro 255 in my Charger with Sniper. I have the fuel tank out to facilitate other maintenance (fuel leak). Anyway the car has been idle for two years now due to upgrades. When I removed the tank there was a very small amount of what used to be fuel. Gum and varnish also in the tank. The fuel pump probably also has varnish inside it. It has that "bad fuel" smell to it. I'm debating on getting a new pump seeing how everything is out. This pump does not have much use on it and is about 5-6 years old. Your thoughts

Fuel system cleaner. Should be fine. Would go ahead and order a spare.

Should be good to go. I'd test it before reinstall to be sure. Add some techron to the initial fuel fill.

Techron is good stuff.

disconnect line at the pump and at the tank and blow out the lines with air. Reconnect and run the pump without spark using the starter with the hose and any filter disconnected from the carb and let it pump into a bucket. Replace any filter.
