Fuel pump wont turn on

Ok well this just happened out of the blue it worked about a week ago I got a 305 TBI 90. Just what should I check for. I do have spark and everything. I am able to hear the pump turn on normally and I went to start her up today and nothing from the pump everything else is working right. Just looking on ideas what to test and if you can tell me where to check for it would help me out alot. Thank you in advance.

Re: Fuel pump wont turn on

you say you hear the pump prime but nothing happens... did you check the fuel pressure and found none? or are you assuming there's no pressure... I don't know if there's a shraeder valve on a TBI setup...
