305 TBI doesn't fire up.. only turns.

well, it doesn't fire up without help atleast.. if i pour a little bit of gas on top of the throttle body it will run until the gas burns off, but it doesn't seem to be getting any fuel.. im not sure if its the fuel pump or not..

Can someone tell me what kind of signs i should be looking for to fix this problem? thanks..
