[Spridgets] facet pump problem

[corvallis at peoplepc.com]

Some pumps need to be primed. Put a little gas into the inlet. There is
usually a direction of flow written on the pump also. ...bill in corvallis

You say the lines are clear.
So, first thing to do is to check to see if you're getting fuel out of the
pump!
If not, and if it's a DC pump, you might have it wired backwards.
Otherwise, did you check that the input end is connected to the tank outlet?
