I recommend a vacuum pump but the old sucky pukey always works. I think Lindy is right. You are trying to pump air instead of fuel. I bet your pump is just fine. All it needs is some fuel to pump.

Another "Duh" moment. Don't know why I didn't think to siphon gas back through the pump to "prime" it as there is probably no gas in the line from the tank to the pump. The very distinct rattling noise when the pump is running or you shake it made me assume something had broken inside. I have no idea what kind of impellor the pump is using but the rattling may wwell be normal.
Will try again in a couple of days when I get time.
Thanks again for the responses...
