as from the title i cannot get it to pull fuel from tank i replaced pump, fuel lines, fuel filter and grommet to feed pipe not sure what the problem is
Yes, but that was only half of what I asked for. Don’t know if it is a Courage, Command, KSeries Magmun, or Confident. Please post all numbers on the engine.

What about the suction line that goes to the crankcase?
Some have a sharp bend...takes a special tube to not collapse inside.
Is that good/working to operate the diaphragm pump?
One idea put out here is...take a push mower gas tank...tape it to a board and put it above (southern engineering_ your fuel pump and let it gravity feed into fuel pump and see if it works.
You have to eliminate different areas of your fuel system.
Just so we are sure .
When you take the line to the carb off the carb & crank the engine, nothing comes out of the pipe, is that correct ?
Secondly the fuel pump has a check valve in it so it is directionally sensitive .
Input & output are on the sides , impulse line is on the top.
The in tube is the one closest to the impulse line and the out tube is the one furthest away.
Some times that means crossing the fuel lines over.
Put your thumb over the impulse line and crank the engine.
it should be able to feel a strong push against your thumb.
Fuel filters can create an air lock because the outlet tube is 1/2 way down the filter, not right at the end.

I encountered the same problem on my LT155 (Engine: Kohler CV15-41610). After replacing the fuel line, fuel line bushing and fuel pick-up (all three connected to each other from gas tank), and fuel filter and pump, I could not get fuel to pull through. The solution - I opened my gas cap and I believe it created enough suction to pull the fuel through. At first, it did nothing and fuel would not fill up the fuel filter. As soon as I took off the gas cap, it pulled through, the engine sputtered, but then ran after getting sufficient fuel in the carburetor.
Advice to anyone experiencing the same issues - start at the rear and work from the gas tank forward. Also, you must jack up your mower and take off the left rear wheel to remove the gas tank. See this video for instructions - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMqYt9QxVCQ.
