Advice please on rebuilding a 2005 Monster

I would definitely soak the pump in fresh fuel (maybe with a dash of injector cleaner mixed in) ovenight. Then turn the ignition on and off repeatedly to see if it's still alive, you should hear a buzz as it primes each time the ignition is switched on if it's not gummed up solid.

IIRC Fuel filter is a little different on plastic tank models, it's a grey plastic unit that attaches to the access plate/pump assembly in the bottom of the tank. Steel tank bikes have a pressed steel filter that's accessed by removing the filler neck. The guys at Moto Rapido will know which one, just tell them you've got a plastic tank model.
