I tested the fuel system on my car a couple of weeks ago. I'm using a ZX6R pump and carbs (on a pinto). I connected a length of hose and a funnel to the filter and filled this with petrol. Then connected the outlet on the pump to my fuel pipe, then a rubber section to my carbs. Filled the funnel with petrol and turned the key (which is directly linked to the fuel pump relay). The pump then started clicking rapidly for about 10-15 seconds before it sucked in a big slug of petrol. Once there was enought petrol in the system the pump stops clicking. I didn't do anything to 'bleed' the floats. What have you got between the 'tank' and the pump - could soemthing be stopping fuel getting to the pump?
