    Pump won't start after running it out of gas

    I have a 1.25" steel pipe driven 15ft with a static water level at 6ft below. So the pipe is about 9ft below the water table I installed a 3/4 PVC pipe with a foot valve at the bottom. I topped of the PVC pipe with water and then I tried to attach a drummond 1/8 hp transfer pump. It did not...
