hi guys, I have my new engine in and running, after getting past a no spark issue. now, though, it seems starved of fuel, and it needs gas poured into the card to get it cranked. Also, when I back-prime it, the fuel just seep down the line, past the filter watch glass and pump, back to the tank.

A pal has a truck with a glass filter and it remains pretty full when the motor is off, and it doesn't drain down like mine.

due to this, is my fuel pump bad, or just out of prime??

If I need a new one, do I go stock or upgrade? I have a 350 with mild cam and 1406 carb. thanks!
