Post Fuel line question
I have a 36PD I am sucking air from somewhere in my line. My question is do I need the primer ball on my fuel because I believe there is a fuel pump? Right?

put a bulb... the factory fuel pump sucks

a 2-3psi MR Gasket fuel pump from the parts store would fix your problems.

Anyone ever have this problem.. I replaced all line and clamp and put a clear fuel filter in.. Only 25 hrs on my motor think the fuel pump is going out?

Do what I said. Also bing your motor in for a oil change and valve set if you have not done so

How is your fuel line connected to the tank? That could be your problem. I've had lots of different motors over the years, never had to add a fuel pump to ANY of them.

My filter doesnt hold fuel either i changed everything and it still drains down, fuel bulb won't stay hard.Ive ran it for 1-2 hours at one time never did choke out.I do pump the bulb now and again. I have the quick connecter on my tank need to change that out.
