Check to see if you have a water control valve in the heater hose. If so, could be stuck closed.

Barry, make sure you have vacuum to the heater control valve. And check to see if the valve really does move when you move the control. (Mine tends to stick after not using it for a season). Don

FIRST OF ALL I want to thank all of you for the quick responses to my delima. Guess what you don't get any flow if there are'nt any vanes on the little rotor inside of the pump. my first reaction after I pulled the pump off was oh how dumb!!!!! anyway thanks a whole bunch for your time and helpfull ideas.
