Hi John,
There are only a few reasons your rebuilt fuel pump won't operate. If the
two valves and their gaskets were not installed in the right direction, it
will not function. Are you sure the diaphragm was connected? When operating
the pump by hand, off the car, you should hear it make that "wuk wuk" sound
and you will feel a vacuum at the inlet port. If, by chance, the operating
lever did not end up on the cam lobe properly when installed, there would
be no pumping action as well. There IS only limited wrenching space on a 3.
