possibly bad pump or loose wiring. Check it again.

the swap isn't supposed to mess with the wiring for the fuel pump. If you upgraded to a walbro, check the fuse again. Mine kept blowing till I found where it was grounding out, at first it they didn't look blown but they were.

try a different fuel pump. If I had my fsm on me, I'd check the wiring on the fuel pump and see how it's all linked up but seeing how I'm not feeling that great, I can't go to my buddies and pick it up and check for you.

actually get a multimeter and check to see if you're getting power to the fuel pump before trying to switch it out. could just be a coincidence that your fuel pump died during your change over.
