5HP Honda not sucking gas

I've got a 5 hp Honda 4 stroke connected to an external tank (not the original tank or hose) and the motor starts and runs great. The problem is that if I don't give the bulb a few squeezes every so often, the gas line loses pressure and the motor will die.

I have checked to make sure that the valve on the top of the tank is open.

Any ideas on how to fix this? It's not a big deal, but a nuisance I could do without.

Thanks,

Boris

I recently had the same problem and it turned out to be a gas line sucking air. If not already checked this could be your problem as well.

Ahh, I hadn't thought of that. I'll check it on my next outing.

Thanks,
