[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 623767, member: 20098"] Before you replace it, there’s a couple of things to check. Have you got fuel in the line leading to the pump? Has the tank got fuel in it, and isn’t parked at an angle meaning that the tank outlet is not receiving a supply? Are the fuel lines on the correct pump ports? It is unusual for a pump to just fail completely, they normally start to dump fuel into the oil when the diaphragm starts to split. You might just have air in the lines and the pump isn’t able to pull the fresh fuel into it (air is compressible and if there is too much present, the pump will just be compressing / decompressing the air, rather than moving the fuel).
