Does this pump have a prefered direction? https://www.carburetion.com/products/ProductDetails.aspx...
I can't find directions or indications on it. I'm not getting fuel, but don't know if it's this or the filter or the pressure regulator. It did get stuck when I had it before the filter but then I freed it by reversing polarity. Now I have the filter first. If I reverse polarity now I can hear bubbles in the fuel tank.

Years ago I bought a Triumph Spitfire that hadn't run in 10+ years. It had the exact same issue. It would run for about 5 minutes and then quit. Once cooled off again, it would run 5 minutes and then quit. Rinse and repeat over and over again. Rebuilt the pump, new filters, re-routed lines, etc... all that stuff was done. In the end, the problem turned out to be 2 or 3 inches of rust particles clumped up in the fuel pickup line inside the tank. Once that was removed, the problem was gone and the car ran fine.

To determine this, I re-routed the fuel line to the filter/pump to a small gas tank strapped inside the trunk temporarily. This took the fuel tank out of the circuit. The car ran for well for quite some time for the first time since I'd bought it. Then I pulled the hard line out of the tank and found the rust plug.
