Before you do that, just remove the plug from the petcock, if fuel flows, you have a ruptured diaphragm in the petcock. You need a new petcock in all likelihood.

I would replace the petcock and run the lower nipple to the intake nipple and the upper nipple to the big nipple on the carb. As for the oil pump, either connect it back up or remove it and install a plug in it's place.
