everything is disengaged in the rear, engaged then disengaged again.......still no throttle. i thought throttle arm should move fairly easy

Yes it should. If it doesn't move, time to pull the pump and have it gone through. Check your fuel for water.

THANKS i needed that!!!!!! Let truck set too long between usages i would assume. Checked manual, this pump seems like maybe not repairable by me for calibration purposes or can it be disassembled without having to do this
