"Replaced it [main] with a good pump I had from my old 240 and went to start it up again and nothing - after several cranks it finally started ..."
So it would start and run repeatedly without a good in-tank pump? The hard initial start was just the new (old) main priming the system?
I don't have much of an ear for the in-tank pump so I usually pull the access plate and listen through a steel rod. If it's a car I don't know and want to rely on - eg. going away to college w/ someone - I pull the in-tank pump to inspect wires, hose, fittings, sender, etc. And I often replace them ~$35 seems a good investment in this area.
