Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have spent a week trying to find out what is wrong with my fuel pump.  It
doesn't seem to be getting power.  It was working fine. I went in the store,
and when I came out it wouldn't start.  I have spark, and it will start with

so theres no power at the fuel tank/pump ? did you try and follow where it has power? a inline pump wont work...if you jump the pump with 12 volts it runs right? if the pump is ok/does run...you could tap into another switched power sorce .....
