You should change the filter ahead of the pump, if you got,  and if not,
get one, so it is clean and  not starving the pump.

Then, for daring folks like me, remove the pump to the work bench, and
turn it on, with the wires backwards, to make the pump run backwards.
Have a hose in a gas can, to the outlet of the pump, make the final
connections to the pump, as far away from the gas and the fumes as
possible. (keep those sparks away......and run it for a few seconds.

I have done this, and it causes quite a bit of gunk to be disgorged from
what I guess is some kind of screen at the inlet to the pump.

Since some will think this a bad thing, I never said it, but it works
for me :-)
