Pump-------Generator

I went out to start the generator to let it dry out and it not would run. It's in the fiver and is a Onan 5500 Marquis. I pulled the hose to the filter and it was dry. Now I have taken the fuel pump off and need to know how do I check it? I hooked it up to the battery in my truck but it doesn't pump. Should it run with power to the red lead? Ground is connected to battery ground. I was planning a trip fri. but this may stop it. I called Northern Tool and they said "pump what"? Lots a help. Today being Sun. there is nobody open with the Onan. Tommorow being Laber Day probably not and then either.

Any ideas?
