My 1997 GSX has been sitting for about 2 years
I replaced the battery, but it still won't start. It turns over, but won't start. Here is a link to a video of me trying to start it:

I doesn't seem to be getting any fuel.
I pulled the back seat and when I am cranking (key to start position), I don't hear the fuel pump. Considering it is a Walbro 255 which is known to be whiney, I am pretty sure I'd hear it in while in the car with the windows and doors shut and back seat removed.
I pulled the wiring harness to the pump. When I put a voltage tester in the pin that supplies power to the pump, the little light in the voltage tester turns on when trying to start the car. So it appears the pump is getting power.
I have read that there is a fuel pump test connector under the hood. Does anyone have a good picture pointing it out for a '97 GSX? I want to find out if the pump is bad. I read that I could remove the fuel return hose on the fuel rail. Attach another hose to the barb and dump the hose to a bucket and crank for a few seconds. As long as the fuel pump is turning on it will spit the gas out into the container.
Does anyone have a picture of where the return hose is that I should disconnect?
Thanks a million in advance for helping...
