"Well I pulled the carb apart

"Well I pulled the carb apart and it looked clean. Ran a small wire through all orfices I could see and nothing was plugged. Assuming that the fuel pump was OK I figured I would start with fresh fuel and new spark plugs. It cranks up but still won't stay running without squeezing the bulb. I pulled the outlet side of the fuel pump and suprise no fuel coming out!!!! So, is there anything that would cause the fuel pump not to pump other than the pump itself? The hole where the pump mounts to on the side of the engine has pulses of pressure when I try to crank. I'm guessing that this is what the pump uses to move the diaphram back and forth. How much fuel is the pump suppose to pump while the engine is running? Because right now I'm not getting squat. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong when reassembling the fuel pump I've had that thing apart several times to recheck but it look like I have it together right."
 
"Waterlogged...
Is there any

"Waterlogged...
Is there any chance that there may be a poor connection at one of the hose connections allowing the fuel pump to suck air instead of fuel? My old outboard was doing that for awhile, and I always had to squeeze the bulb to keep it going. Very frustrating.

"I always start with a new fue

"I always start with a new fuel line and bulb assembly. Like wrench says, leaking fittings can cause much grief."
