[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 22472, member: 82"] Using an external source of fuel is fine but you NEED to prime the system. Don't rely on the lift pump having enough suction to draw the fuel up on its own. Its made to move fuel, not suck air till it gets to fuel. Prime it and then do what you said, see if fuel is squirted out. Also when primed ensure you have a bit of a restriction on the end as if your one way valve is bad you will loose prime. If you still believe its the lift pump, give the primer bulb a squeeze and get someone to crank the engine. If it dies every time you let go of the primer bulb its a sign that you have a bad lift pump or plugged filter/hose. [/QUOTE]
