1981 Spider 2000 Not getting fuel

[gofiat81]

Thought my fuel pump was bad so I replaced it with a new one. Still not getting fuel. I have no clue why I am not getting fuel to shoot out of the fuel pump? I can hear the pump come on when I turn the key on and move the lever in AFM. Any thoughts?

Try reversing the connectors? The other thing is when you disconnect the line at the pump does fuel run out? Pull the pickup out of the tank and have a look at the intake. Sometimes a screen on the end may be plugged with shite from the tank. If so then time to drain the tank and clean and coat the inside.
Do you have air...blow the line clear???

I am with Chris.If the pump is energized,I would reverse your connection or check that the pump is flowing in the right direction.It may sound silly,but it aint hard to reverse the pump or connections.If its correct and still not flowing fuel out of the pump,it has to be obstructed.

The gas pours out of the tank so its not blocked. I will try to reverse the connections.
