empeller was GONE, put new one in,, motor gets watter now, but will still not run, fuel pressure is only 20 when you hit the key. you can play with it, and get it to 38-40 and it runs. but will not keep this up...
put new pump, fuel redulator, and cool fuel system in. pressure is still low, 10-15....fuel filter is dry.....will putting gas in the filers fix it?

Ok so i filled the filter and got pressur, and it ran for about a min. then dropped pressure and started same thing. I found out that the fuel line going from the pressure regulator tot he fuel filter was kinked, and leaking at the fitting a little. so i am assuming that if i fiz the kink and get the fitting tight so no leaks that the pump will then be able to suck new fuel into the filter and keep the pressure up?
