Kyle,
Lots of things going on. A functioning fuel pump should gush fuel out the line at a very good pace.
The pump has check valves in it that don't allow fuel to drain back. A broken diaphragm will allow fuel to leak into the crankcase.
The pump should be installed with the bowl up. This will put the IN and OUT in there proper places.
When you installed it, it should have offered resistance as you forced the lever against the cam lobe. They are not a slip on deal.
You must have fuel in whatever tank you are using and the supply line must be clear, as well as the discharge fuel line.
These statements seem quite obvious, but sometimes these are the things that are overlooked.
