One thing I have done is check the spring on the throttle. I had this happen and the spring that holds the throttle in a specific location had come unhooked. I simply held the throttle open, had another person sstart the mower and then reattached the spring to hold the throttle open in the desired position.

Pumps are very quiet and hard to hear. If the engine starts and runs then the pump is running. You can hear it if you remove the gas cap and listen at the fuel tank opening while someone turns the ignition to the on position. It will only run for a few seconds unless you start the engine.
