Mike, You need to prime the pump. I have in the past been able to do
that by cupping my hands around the fuel filler and blowing into the
tank.. It does not take much pressure to force fuel into the pick-up.Â
Do this with the pump running.   There may be better ways to pressurize
the tank, but I have had good luck with this methods. Good luck.
