Don't assume the pump is functioning correctly because it is "new."
"Draw" is synonymous with pump suction. Fuel pump draw should measure >20"Hg while cranking, fuel transfer volume should measure >1 qt in 30 seconds of cranking (typically 1 qt in ~20 seconds), and developed pressure should measure 5-7 PSI but can be as great as 9 PSI.I wrote,Quote from: bd on June 03, 2018, 11:26:24 PMDon't assume the pump is functioning correctly because it is "new." The key word is "functioning." Don't forget the fuel pump is actuated by a pushrod, which reciprocates by following an eccentric lobe on the camshaft. Although rare, issues can develop with the pushrod and/or camshaft, typically due to inadequate lubrication. In select cases, the pushrod will score and partially seize in its bore, limiting the fuel pump lever travel. Did you switch fuel brands recently or begin using higher alcohol content fuel?Another possibility is weak spark. But, since you feel the symptoms are fuel related, perform the suggested checks to eliminate them as unknown variables.
