Disconnect the line from the tank to the pump. Blow air into the line ane listen for bubbling. Make sure you have hooked up the line from the tank to the correct side of the pump. I don't think its possible to mount it below the tank level since most tanks are at low hull level. Shouldn't matter, pump should have some draft/pull ability. Check pump out line to engine to make sure pump is good. Even new pumps come bad right out of the box. Now that everything is made in Japan or Mexico who checks for quality?

Check the anti syphon valve on the tank outlet.

fuel pick up in tank might be damaged or broken. Is there fuel in the fuel filter?
