 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?

 Re: Fuel line question
put a bulb... the factory fuel pump sucks
a 2-3psi MR Gasket fuel pump from the parts store would fix your problems.

 Re: Fuel line question
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?

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

 Re: Fuel line question
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.

 Re: Fuel line question
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.
