John, he rebuilt the engine and now it won't light. It appears that his primer pump never pumps up. He has a Kennedy lift pump too I think. Not sure yet. Still trying to get more answers.

The Kennedy pump will not self prime. You have to use the hand pump on the OEM filter bracket to get fuel to the Kennedy. If you crack the vent on the filter housing and press the prime button on the Kennedy, it should spit fuel in short order. If not, pump the plunger a good 1/2 dozen times. Then try again. If you have a vacuum leak between the Kennedy and the tank it will never prime.
If the Lift pump checks out, crack the return line from the pump then crank. If fuel comes out. the gear pump is getting fuel and pumping. Then crack an injector line. Again, look for Fuel.
Let us know.
