We had a Wisconsin engine and the pump on yours looks the same. The one we had, had a rubber flap inside the output pipe on the pump. I expect if there's one in yours it's dry rotted out. We replaced ours several times. The pump won't prime if the flap doesn't seal good. You may already know the large glass tube on the rear is used to prime the pump.

Again it won't prime if it's sucking air from the outside.
Hope your pump was winterized when it was stored away. I know nothing about that engine.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
