are you trying to bleed it up then? if you are then it *should* work but if your just seeing if it is working without loosening off a bleed line the diaphragm may be being held off by the pressure in the line?
if its not pumping when you are trying to bleed it then it may be one of the valves is stuck or a pipe blocked
