Did you run it out of fuel...........how much fuel did you put in to fill it???

I had a 1/4 tank and put about 20 gallons in it

I unhooked the feed like to the pump and used the shop vac presured the fuel tank fuel was going in the bucket stop hooked it back to the pump presured up fuel tank turned on the key with the fuel cap removed and still not getting fuel the pump moter is running but no fuel pumping

Tried and not working i used the shop vac and presurized the tank to and not working.

In my mind there is no reason for no fuel at this point.

Are you sure you hear the fuel pump running and not the vacuum pump.

If it is running maybe there is an obsturction either in or down stream of the fuel pump.

Some one else chime in here..........I am running out of ideas.

Many moons ago, I was running out of fuel with about 1/4 in the tank. I added some more fuel and it started running all right again.

I suspected a sucking air condition and decided to do the "Hutch" mod.

I dropped the tank and removed the pick-up assembly. As I went to grab the rubber intake on the bottom of the assembly, it literally fell off in my hand.

My point is that if they can come loose so easilly, maybe it's possible your's is loose and up against the bottom of the tank, sucking more tank bottom than fuel.

Mine is not sucking any fuel at all but if I presurize my tank fuel comes pouring out with the feed line unhooked from the pump
