Holley Blue lost prime

I finally got a burr up my ass to get the S10 going today.

 

After all the usual "shit aint run in 2.5 years" stuff, the electric Holley blue pump wouldn't build pressure. I have a BG gauge under the hood that never left 0.0.

 

Truck would run on starting fluid or a Bud can dripping gas into the carb.

 

So, how in the Hell do you prime an aftermarket, in-line, electric pump?

 

The pump is slightly higher than the fuel cell outlet.

pull the pump and rebuild it it is cheap. Assuming you have a sumped cell it should not need primed I bet the vanes are fubared

 

This is similar to current (have a new cell now).
