Maybe I am that dumb because I don’t know what you’re talking about when you say swapping the hoses? That new pump has to be turned around backwards to try and hook it up and pulse line hose wasn’t long enough and I didn’t have another hose to change it with and I didn’t feel like jacking with it.
I for sure am dumb when it comes to ohms,I have a multimeter but don’t know how to use it.If you can tell me where to put the settings and attach the leads then I will do it.
Thanks
Lets take these one at a time:
1) In the first pic of that pump (with the red arrow) I see a "P" stamped in the housing. That's obviously the pulse line port. The other two ports obviously go to tank and carb. If you weren't getting fuel how do you know you had the hoses hooked up correct ?? That's what I meant by swapping hoses. Not sure if we were talking on the same page earlier.
My dad and I were always famous for arguing and then finding out we were talking about different ends of the race car.
2) Multi meter: I am NO ELECTRON MECHANIC but I do some what know how to use this thing.
In the pic of your meter you want to set it to the area with the Egyptian hieroglyphic in the bottom left corner. That's the ohm scale. Yours has 4 different settings. Just pick one. Also leave your wires on your meter hooked the way you got it there. What you do is put any lead (the red one or black one) inside the sparkplug boot. The other wire gets hooked to each terminal on the coil. What you are looking for is the needle on the meter to move. It don't matter what it shows as long as it moves. Yours is a digital meter so it has to show over zero. If you get no reading try another scale of the 4 you have in that ohm box. If you get NO reading take the two leads and touch them together to see if your meter shows something. This is to verify your meter aint shot. If your meter is good and you got no reading then you have a break in the high tension lead.
Also wiggle the high tension lead around to see if you suddenly get no reading. This would also indicate you got a broken wire. NOTE: make sure it wasn't your lead that came loose and lost connection.
See my pics below of my cheap meter. Either meter will work for us.
You can see how I have it hooked up and you can see the needle in the middle of the scale. It has moved so that coil is good. It is showing resistance which is what we want. If it shows nothing on the scale then there is a problem.

You asked me “how did you know you had the hoses hooked up correctly ?” Well I didn’t know if they were hooked up correctly or not,I knew I had the pulse line in right place because it’s marked with P. After it didnt pump and i took it off I tried blowing on it,I can blow air through it one way but not the other way,so I figure the end that air is coming out is the one I marked out.When it was hooked up it had the gas line from petcock going into outtake,so you have to turn pump around and when I turn it around my pulse line would not reach,I will jack with it some more Wednesday.
My picture is correct though,that port i have marked out is the out,that is not marked with a P
Thank you for explaining how do do it with the meter
Thanks
Edit:Socalgii made me great deal on petcock so another one on the way
