Wow, that's REALLY BAD..
And yes, that would in-deed cause some running issues.
As the pump would run at "key on" and pump till primed/pressurized line,
I don't know if the pump would keep running (there's no build up of pressure) .
It wouldn't hurt the pump(or bike) for a second or two of running. But I'd be quick to turn off the key.
If your old pump primed, and it sounds like it did, you know the wiring is fine.
If you really want to check the new pump, I'd just run 12 volts to it for a second..
The old assembly is most definitly an issue
Thanks for the reply! Off course I'ill thoroughly clean both the tank and fuel pump assembly, and make everything as new again.
