Got gas in it? 8)
Blockage in the fuel line or at the pickup in the tank?
something wrong with the float needle n seat in the carb?

Is the pump louder than normal? Those facets get loud when there is no fuel in them.

if got gas in it and gas to the pump but no gas out its a bad fuel pump.check to make sure its getting gas to it before you go buy a new pump.could be clogged off in the valve from the tank or plugged off in the inlet side of the pump.chad :mrgreen:

sure check it to make sure there is nothing clogging it off,ive seen debri get in the fittings before and stop it up,one piece of rust aggrevated me for ever til i got it out.would run, not run,run, not run, it was a small piece of rust that had made it in there somehow.also have seen gas capps that stopped venting and it would pull a vacum and stop pumping but you should have noticed that it would have started working agian after you checked your gas.chad :mrgreen:

The slightest amount of debris will gum up a Facet pump. You need a good filter between the tank & pump.
