When i run it dry which doesn't happen very often, it doesn't get fuel to the engine when i put more in it, any suggestions?

your post is confusion do you mean you get no fuel when your dry or maybe its too low to pick up anyfuel at all are you parked on a hill is your fuel pump even kickin on

No after i put fuel in it after running it dry it doesn't get any back to the engine even after priming the lines, and it's a mechanical fuel pump, not an electric one, it's on the engine.

I guess your running a carb setup. ONly thing I can tell you is to swicth over to F.I. Or keep trying to prime the pump and lines. Might have to do it 4 or 5 times before it get's fuel.
