Re: Possible fuel pump issue

Pull the fuel line off the pump suction, put it in a pail, pop the cap off the tank and let it flow.
You should get a steady strong flow if there are no restrictions.
If there's poor flow and If there's a filter on the fuel line before the pump, remove it.
If you have good inlet flow you should be good.
If it still won't pump then temporarily remove the filter between the pump and the carb.

Also try holding the choke completely closed while cranking. The vacuum sometimes will help pull fuel into the carb.
