The pump worked when I had a gravity tank going to it, now I have switched tanks and it won't suck. the diaphram seems good. Can i just get a new diaphram or just better to get a new pump?

FYI, the stock tank is rotten, my father had a big ol car tank in there and no seat, and I have switched to a plastic 10 gal tank out of a 77 bronco so I can have a seat.

Did you try siphoning to the pump? and than to the carb? When I replaced my line and pump I had to siphon the line to the carb.

The cap is left loose just in case.
I siphoned the rubber line down, but the metal line weaves up the frame and won't siphon to the pump.
Guess I need to play with it some more.

So this pump won't suck like a newer motor?
