fuel pump or what?

I have a 2007 883 Sportster Low with 400 miles on it. I moved to california and deployed for a year. now its time to ride, but the battery was dead as a door nail. I changed out the battery and it turned over just fine... but didnt start. shot a squirt of gas in the carb and its puttered... sorry, I didnt tell you its EFI. also noticed that the fule pump wasnt running. so, I cracked into the tank, pulled out the fuel pump & filter cluster and changed out the fuel pump. the tank had a bunch of rust all over the insides. so, with metal rescue (home Depot) cleaned right up, installed the new fuel pump and filter cluster and filled the tank with new fuel..... still nothing. the new fuel pump doesnt make a sound.
the key on the speedo goes on and off like normal.
when I flip the switch from on to off, I hear something resets between the jugs..
your thoughts?

First welcome from Illinois. Go to the Sportster section and ask you question there. You will get more answers.
