My 74' 3/4ton 4x stopped pushing fuel a few weeks ago. Pulled the fuel line at the carb and cranked the motor. No gas. I put in a new pump and believe to have properly held back that rod for a proper pump installation. threw a little gas in the carb, engine turned over for a second. Put more in engine turned over for a second.

I figured by then gas would be up to the pump.

What now?

My buddy said to disconnect the line into the pump then with a rag and mild air pressure push air into the gas tank . This technique would push gas out of the line that goes into the pump. Hopefully eliminating a bad line as the problem.

Any suggestions?
