I pulled the fuel line off the carb and ran a line from the fuel pump to a jar 
and started the bus and there is a nice stream of gas coming out of the fuel 
pump which makes me think that it's ok, might be a little low (2.5 psi) but I 
was looking to see if it;s was trickling out of the pump..(looking to see if  
it was clogged up)

Now I'm wondering what to do next.......

      2.5 psi should be enough if there is enough volume.You just need enough 
fuel to keep the float bowl full while driving.

    I checked my fuel pressure and it read 2.5 psi.... it did not move at all 
when I revved the engine....this is on a 1600DP stock engine.... 

    It's lower than the Bentley specs which are between 3.0 and 5.0 psi.... 

    Suggestions? 

    BTW, this is the original fuel pump in my 71 Westy. I did pop the top off 
about a month and cleaned the screen in it.
