I just replaced my fuel pump yesterday and it ran fine. This morning on my way to work it acked the same way and died, I poured gas into the carborator and it starts then dies, I think and hope I bought a bad fuel pump but what do u think it all could be?

You need to confirm and measure the power supply and ground coming into the pump first. If no problems found there, then you probably do have a bad pump.

This is looking like this testing is going o be beyond your abilities. You will need to enlist some help that is familiar with electrical testing.
