Whenever I try to start my toyota when its cold, it won't start unless I pour some gas into the carb. Why? Also when it does start its very rough and it hesitates a lot throughout acceleration. I already changed the fuel pump. What should I do? Any help in answering these questions would be greatly appreciated.

Check the bowl float, the float is not allowing enough gas into carb.

Do I need to take off the carb to find this float? And my knowledge of cars is medium to average, is it something that I can change myself? Thanks in advance for your answers

Yes remove carb. Float bowl allows a certain amount of gas so you do not stall car. The bowl itself may be worn to the point it needs replacing.

When a fuel pump goes out it can do so one of two ways either it can quit and stop working or it can fail intermittently causing the engine to stall or not start.
