fuel pump - total failure?
1982 f250.
about 2 months since last driven
re-man fuel pump put on this spring
"starts" when starting fluid is sprayed down the carb, but thats it
hose from fuel filter back to fuel pump (on block) = dry, no smell of gas
do these things go into full failure? have i maybe lost pressure in the system?
i can pull off the fuel pump but wondering if others have some "try this first" suggestions:
funnel some gas down the fuel line toward tank?
top off / add gas at the tank?
any ideas appreciated
thanks

It should have enough suction to prime itself, if you keep it running for 30sec or so by dumping gas down the carb it should pick up. A hole in a line between the tank and pump will suck air and not allow it to pump fuel. If you remove the suction line from the pump and put your finger over the port you should feel suction while cranking. Make SURE there is gas in the tank!!
