Not realy. Take the pulse line from engine block off at the pump to see if you are getting a good pulsing action when you turn the engine over. If not you have a seal problem. If you have pulsing, reconnect hose and remove hose at carb and turn over engine to see if you get fuel pumping throw line. If not, check line from tank to pump for leaks or bad pickup line in tank or even bad gas cap. If all is ok then clean pump to see if you can repair it or replace the pump.
It is funny how the wire could cause a fuel problem so I would be inclined to think a wire issue is still at hand unless you are sure your getting good spark but no fuel.
