A mechanical fuel pump works off a lobe on the cam, usually. I have seen these cams wear down to the point that the fuel pump does not operate correctly. A quick test is to; remove the fuel lines from the pump, plug the oulet side of the pump with your finger, install a vacumm gauge on the inlet side and crank the engine. The gauge should show good vacumm and you should feel pressure against your finger. If none of these exist then you should replace the camshaft.
