it will not begin pumping.

leaks between pump and engine.

Check that all hoses are securely attached to the pump.
Check that the discharge hose is not restricted.
Make sure the suction strainer is clean and securely

attached to the water end of the suction hose.

fill cap if pump is hot! Water inside may be

under pressure.
