    the push pump is a pump…not a tank pressurizer it will pump gas…. up to the engine by check valving the gas…. one way up the fuel line… nothing to do with the quantity of fuel in the tank

    the hose female end will not let fuel out unless connected because of the internal spring valve

    looking at the glass bowl and pumping the button you will see fuel entering the glass bowl up to the carb …. the bowl has a metallic filter which… may be dirty and require cleaning to allow fuel into the carb.

    since you seem to be at a lower knowledge level on this stuff maybe a good read of the johnson book will answer all your question (no offense)

    one great beginners book is CHEAP OUTBOARDS by Max E Wawrzniak ISBN# 978-1-891369-62-9 http://www.breakawaybooks.com
