I removed the electric pump since I went to a carb 350 However its not getting fuel to the manual pump. the lines are clear I blew air through it with air compressor. Im thinking the battery might be a slight problem since it cranks a few seconds then doesnt have enough juice. but ya would think it would get fuel sooner or later right?

 

Im assuming that you removed the intank pump from the assembly? If so sometimes it can be a little hard to get a mechanical pump to prime. but you should have installed some sort of pick-up hose or tube were the electric pump was. You could either blow compressed air into the filler neck or you may have to get a small in-line electric pump to use a a pusher.
hope this helps

 

I had the exact same problem. You have to install an electric back by the tank as well as your manual one. I did that and haven't had a problem since.
