Check the vac line from the fuel reg to the intake for fuel
If the diaphragm in the reg is broken then fuel will be sucked straight into the intake

no need to drive, pull the line and switch key on to pressurize the fuel system, check if fuel comes out

Don't do that, it could shoot the pintle out of the unit! not sure its a good idea to just shove them back together.
