My baby won't start

I have a Gravely pro-turn 260 xdz commercial mower with an ecv 749 Kohler engine. I was mowing the other day. Decided to take a break. When I went to start it, that didn't happen. Checked the fuel, got it. Checked the fire, got it. Suspecting the pulse pump. just replaced keyswitch, so checked to make sure connection was good. Filter is full but no varoom. Is my suspicion probably correct?

    Pull the line off the carb and insert the end into a can while cranking. Make darn sure there is no possibility of a spark.

    Well, I would but I forgot to say that it is e.f.i. But I am about to pull the pump off and check it out.

    Are you getting any faults codes?
     
    Codes are accessed through key switch and displayed
    as blinks or fl ashes of MIL. Access codes as follows:
    1. Check that battery voltage is above 11 volts.
    2. Start with key switch OFF.
    3. Turn key switch to ON and OFF, then ON and OFF,
    then ON, leaving it on in third sequence. Do not start
    engine. Time between sequences must be less than
    2.5 seconds.
    4. MIL will blink a series of times. Number of times MIL
    blinks represents a number in blink code.
    5. A sequence of four digits make up a fault code.
    There is a one (1) second pause between blinks of a
    fault code. There is a three (3) second pause
    between separate fault codes. After fault code(s) are
    blinked a two digit 61 is blinked to indicate program
    has completed.
    a. It’s a good idea to write down codes as they
    appear, as they may not be in numerical
    sequence.
    b. Code 61 will always be last code displayed,
    indicating end of code transmission. If code 61
    appears immediately, no other fault codes are
    present

    Figured out the problem!
    ECM wire harness connectors needed a wiggle!
    Thanks
