Everything was working fine (first start was just a couple of days ago on Coyote). Fuel pump is still running (I can hear it) but it is not pumping fuel. Nothing happened that should have made a difference. Any ideas? (Pump, filter, tank, lines are all brand new)

How much gas did you put in the tank? May be too low to prime...

Probably about 2 - 3 Gallons. It had been running previously... I'll put more in and try, but I don't think this is probably the issue. Thanks though!

If that isn't it, it must be a physcial block somewhere. I would doubt that it is something inside the tank. Maybe disconnect the fuel line before the fuel filter, put the end in a gas can, and run the pump. If its good, do the same thing with the connection at the fuel rail.

Just curious... did you find the problem?

Ended up pulling the pump after checking everything we could. No blockage anywhere (tested all the lines and they were clear), yet while the pump ran, it pumped nothing. Called Forte and he is replacing it for me. Shipping a new one tomorrow...
