How do you know??

Take the oil filter off & fill it with oil, this should prime the pump, anytime a new pump is fitted or stripped it is ment to be primed.

Does the eng run??

Ing on, pull the oil wire off the sensor, make sure the light on the dash goes OFF, could also be a dud pressure switch or the wire could be earthed out some where..

Fill the filter, put the lead's on & stert it up, but get ready to shut it down, Have had many a new pump that need's a bit of speed to it to prime.

BE READY TO SHUT IT OFF THO!!!!

you could have a blockage in the carby. thake the lid off the carby and put you hand over the top cover about 2/3s of it with your hand and have some one crank it over. This will cause extra vacume being put on the fuel being sucked into the carby, It will help clear out the fuel passages on the carby. only keep your hand on there for a few seconds at a time. once it cranks (if it does) slowly take your hand off it. Simple trick but it sometimes works.

you sure you didnt pinch your fuel line? are you sure you got the right line hooked up? are you sure you have fuel in the tank? and the trick I just told you about will work on any carby.

I agree. I had my fuel pump off for about a week while I was replacing a head gasket. Moved arm by hand, seemed fine....but wasn't :cry:
