Fuel pump does not run

[buicktom61]

Hi,

Last winter I put a new walbro fuel pump, a hot wire kit, a pressure gauge and regulator in my GN.
Everything worked fine until today.
When I turn the ignition on, the pump doesn't start for priming. No pressure on the gauge. While I start the pump doesn't work either.
In the moment I turn the ignition on the pump relay on the right inner fender klicks. Power is there, but the pump doesn't start.
Any Idea what it is?

Check the fuse for the hotwire first (30a), if it's OK then bypass the hotwire relay all together and hook up the stock wiring . If it works in bypass the hotwire relay is probably bad . Good Luck , Sam

check all your connections: i recall that my hotwire kit had a ground strap for the relay that clipped onto the fuel tank.. find that wire and wiggle the wire around... of course, that wire only works if the tank itself is still grounded- if your gas gauge doesn't work, then find the ground wire for the tank and check those connections..
