Post some pictures of that '87 tank!
You can get an idea whether that pump you got is worth installing by connecting it to a 12v battery briefly to hear if it's running (clicking noise) Green wire is ground. I wouldn't take much stock in what the previous owner believed were the problems. I'd put it back together and start from square one. Spark, gas, air. The manual is a must but we're here to help too.
Check for spark first because if you don't have that the issue could be the CDI and if the CDI isn't working you won't get fuel either on these 87's, as the CDI powers the fuel cutoff relay, I believe.
