Still curious as to the brass valve that the OP mentioned; a low point drain valve, perhaps?

I suppose that when I posted the above, I should've added that you're supposed to hook up the piece of test hose and stick the loose end into the bucket of water and then turn on the pump. If it doesn't pump water, the pump is not working. Sorry
I'm glad you stuck with it and found the problem. Learning what you did will serve you down the line. But, it's knowledge that you hope you never have to use....:B

I don't know if the OP has any items which would make it easy to diagnose?

Basic RV water system....
Then 'water works/utility' panels started being used. Some where simple with minimal switches/valves and some were multi switches/valves.
Turn this/turn that......this one open/this one closed/this one this way/this one that way...........fill/pump/city/winterize.
OP has basic system. Gravity fill for fresh water tank. Garden hose to city water and pump sucks from fresh water tank. Normal bypass on backside of water heater.
OK on city water but can not get water to flow using pump.
Sooooo
Either there is a air leak on pump suction side or winterizing kit on suction side of pump is not closed (sucking air in)

Would a bad check valve on the city water inlet cause this? Old-Biscuit, I think you posted on this recently.

If the pump's impeller is shattered, the pump would run continuously, and not move any water.
