My motor type/model/etc is below in my signature.
I had the motor rebuilt earlier in the year. I've had to take the carb off and clean it once already as it had trash in it (looked like part of the fuel line? really tiny black rubber). Ethanol fuel could be eating new fuel hose that was replaced with new EPA approved fuel line during rebuild in Feb. this year.
After having problems starting the motor cold or warm, I've finally found that the bulb is not staying primed (hard). Is it the fuel pump or is there something possibly allow fuel out of the bowl in the carb that's causing this?
Should i go to the trouble and take the carb apart and clean again? Or is it the fuel pump?
