Fuel pump runs but wont pump gas out of the top of the pump.

[Rae]

2011 speedster (155hp)
Put the pump back in and filled it with fresh gas. Now it just cranks and cranks and doesn't start. I checked the pump and it is humming along when the key is put on. I pulled it the pump out to see and I see gas pumping through the pickup tube where it connects to the top piece of the pump but it just overflows out the pickup tube and wont flow out to the top of the pump to the line. I check all the connections and it's getting 12v all through it. Im kind of at a loss and everything says a new pumps is $800-$1000 which is a waste.

Any help?

Sorry, nevernind there was a rubber seal in the pickup tube that was supposed to be on the end, it had pushed down in it restricting flow and not creating a seal. Pulled it out and put it back in place and fired right up.

Hope this helps someone else.
