Is the carb throat what's exposed under the air filter lid? Do I need to turn the car on (without starting the engine) to get the accelerator pump to hopefully work?

From previous experiences I don't think the gas in the tank has gone bad, but the carb is another story. My technical skills are limited, but what other things could I try if the accelerator pump turns out to work? And if not, how easy is it to replace? The biggest work I've done is water pump and alternator replacements.
