All of them, in my opinion.  If your fuel pump is busted, simply replace it.

If the pump can be taken apart, you might be able to clean some
gunk out of the check valves.  If you remove it from the car, you
can at least test it by seeing how well it pumps air.

SUs and Strombergs do NOT have accelerator pumps, and pumping the gas pedal
when the engine is not running has NO effect on anything.
