If you are referring to the manual pumping bail on the mechanical fuel pump: mine would not move when I gingerly tried it before the mechanic arrived to give my "new" old A4 a good inspection after buying the boat. He said it was because of where the crankshaft had stopped. We turned the shaft a bit and it pumped fine. Does that describe your situation?

UPDATE: I later discovered this INvaluable tidbit by Don Moyer: http://www.moyermarine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=827
