Sorry to revive this boring thread but if anyone has suggestions I would appreciate it. I have installed a new fuel pump - Carter. I verified that I can siphon gas though the fuel line that runs down to the pump. I hook up the line and crank the engine and I get no fuel out of the pump. Is it possible that I installed the pump wrong - it didn't seem too difficult but I have never done it before. Does the pump need to be primed somehow - I figured the pump would be capable of creating a vacuum and clearing any air in the system but now I'm not so sure. I cranked the engine till the battery ran down, maybe 1-2 minutes on 2 occasions. Any advice appreciated.
