After putting in new tube it fails to pump out any grease. Only thing I could see to do is hold open spring loaded air valve, but that didn't help. Any clues? I did remove the pull tab on top.

Did you bleed the gun? There are times when I've loaded mine and had no problems, other times I had to bleed it.
Unscrew the barrel from the head a few threads while the grease is under spring pressure, don't unscrew it all the way just 2-3 threads. Open or push down the bleeder for a about 30 seconds, pump the gun. When it begins to flow tighten the barrel.
It needs to be bled.
This video tells you how to bleed the air from a grease gun. Very helpful.

Good stuff guys!!! It worked fine doing the slight unscrewing routine. Learned something today as I've often had trouble with grease guns. Thanks again.
Great tig1. I remember my first time loading a new cartridge. I opened the pull tab and put it in.....hilarity ensued.
Lets say I used half a tube to grease my garage pretty good. Then I learned.
Thanks for posting the video. I have heard of so many folks on the web having trouble bleeding or priming their gun.
