1977 Volkswagen Super Beetle 1977 Super Beetle won't start

Fuel pump is on engine below carb but first check fuel shut off valve on left side of carb. Has a wire to it with key on diconnect and reconnect wire should hear click. If not remove and see if you can free it up . If not plug hole and it should start.

I neglected to mention in my original question (now edited) - I have a fuel injected engine (Super Beetle)

The Super Beetle you a taxing an old mans memory
but I will try. First I reccomend you get a repair manual to aid you. Get some carb cleaner spray into throttle see if it fires. If so then fuel problem.
Is there a silver block with fuel line comming out?
And next to it is a housing with a big screw clamp around it?
When removed is there around metal plate there with a nut in the middle?
I think the pump is under car near the trans. It will look like a silver can couple wires also look for relay under hood.
Let me know

When I changed out the fuel filter (under the right front wheel well), I noticed a cylinder a little further down the line. After talking with the VW guy at the local import parts store, I found out that I was looking at the fuel pump.

I do have some carb cleaner at home, so I'll try that later. What's the best way to get into the throttle?

If system is I described you need to sprak into air intake snorkle
