I assume that you're talking about a gasoline engine 3000.
The fuel pump can be hard to get to. I haven't had to pull mine yet so I don't know for sure, but some folks claim they can get to them without pulling anything but the hood panels, while others say that you've got to pull the nose cone sheet metal as well.
if you think you've got problems with your fuel pump, you can certainly try bypassing it and going with a gravity feed directly from the tank to the carb, but I wouldn't recommend running it that way long term. It should run without the fuel pump as long as there is enough gas in the tank, and I would probably remove the sediment bowl filter and replace it with an in-line filter designed for a gravity fed system. The outlet at the shutoff valve at the bottom of the tank is close to level with the inlet in the carb, so if the fuel is low in the tank and you're going up a hill, you'll likely run the carb dry and kill the engine.
