On my BF3L2011, you can hear the solenoid click, and with it closed there is no fuel flow. First, I would check the manual fuel shutoff to make sure that it isn't thrown.
Since you have fuel flow by pressurizing the tank, that argues that the solenoid is at least partially open. It might be worth pulling the solenoid to verify that it is actually moving the full amount. If it is, I would agree that the fuel pump has gone. You can get rebuild kits pretty easily, or just buy a whole new pump.
Given that you say that this an "old" unit, my bet would be that the diaphragm on the fuel has cracked.
Good luck!
All the best,
Peter
