15-20 years of sitting may well have dried out the seals/valves in the pump.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Stus-List electric fuel pump question

Sorry but I have to ask as it never-ever happened to me…

Is it wired correctly (reverse polarity) and/or is its flow oriented correctly?

No…never happened to me.  Nope.   Never.

Subject: Stus-List electric fuel pump question

Well, I did yoga for a month, waited for a day under 90F and finally worked up 
the nerve to replace my fuel pump with a spare I've carried for the last 
15-20yrs.  The bending and contourtions were painful, but the job was 
accomplished.
Unfortunately, when I turned the power on, I heard the vibration of the pump, 
but it pumped no fuel.  The tank is full and the flow valve is open.  I have no 
filter between the tank and the pump.
So two questions:
1.  Could the pump have deteriorated during the period I was holding it in 
reserve?
2.  Is there more to the install that I"m not aware of?  I thought the pumps 
were self priming, so that shouldn't be the problem.
My manual only shows the diagram without any instructions so I presumed it was 
straight forward.
