I have a Clark 45c that died while I was running it, bled the air and it fired back up and did the same thing every 10 minutes or so, I changed the fuel filters and hasn't made a difference, I know I'm sucking air somewhere, so I got a hose from a fuel can and hooked it straight to the pump to eliminate filters, now it won't start at all, my question is, will this cav pump pull a suction at all or does it have to be pushed into there? We tried to start it on starting fluid and it just spins over faster but doesn't even start startin fluid anymore.. This thing has always been a bottle baby, and hasn't been wanting to start without starting fluid when it's cold, 5-40*.. Since its not starting on starting fluid I'm starting to think, my pump went south? The kill switch is all the way down..
