Multiple possibilities... improper installation of the fuel pump, bad fuel pump, split or loose primary fuel hose, or clogged fuel filter just to name a few... it should be coming out with force. Make sure you have at least a half tank of fuel. Priming should only take a few key cycles... like five to ten if everything is operating properly.

Was the gas level. thanks for the heads up. i got a 12$ fuel pump off ebay, so i only put a little over 3 gallons in in case it didnt work and i had to take it out. wasn't enough. never actually had to replace 88-91. only 96+, so im use to not having to drain or drop tank..
