Very often the pump can't draw a prime unless the engine is running. Try carefully pouring a little fuel down the carburetor, then run the engine at a high idle as long as possible. I have one car that will not start if I run it out of gas until I add a few gallons and pour some down the carb. Five or six times.

When a fuel pump goes out it can do so one of two ways either it can quit and stop working or it can fail intermittently causing the engine to stall or not start.
