Check for spark before you assume it's fuel-related.
The fuel pump only cycles at switch-on if the fuel level has dropped in the float bowls.
Fuel pump failure is rare. Rather than mess around removing and taking to dealer, lift the tank and connect a fuel hose direct from the fuel tap to the fuel line into the carbs. Gravity feed will be more than enough to prove whether or not this is a fuel starvation issue.
