Sort of.. It came on for a slight second with starter fluid, (and it sounded SICK!) but the fuel pump is not pulling in gas. I checked the push rod and it slid down when I installed the pump.. Took it out and got the push rod in the right place.. Went to turn it over and it still wouldn't pull any gas. I only tried turning it over for about 10 seconds after I fixed the position of the push rod. The starter was starting to sound like it was getting tired so I called it day.

Tomorrow, I'm going to flush out any air in the lines and if that's not the reason then I'll try manually pumping the fuel pump to see if it's working or not.

Open to any other suggestions
