Answer
Hi Nathan:
It's best to follow the fuel line to locate the exact position of the pump. Just follow the line from the carb down the side of the engine. It should be on the left front side near the steering rod. It is NOT in the gas tank. They didn't start putting fuel pumps in the gas tank until the late 80's.
