Well of course it matters if the hose leaks. But I gotta back up and ask you this: Are you running it in a barrel? With the hood on? If you are, there is your problem. They won't run in a barrel with the hood on.

You are to be congratulated for ordering a manual. So many try to skip this important step. F_R is right as rain. I've even gone as far as to set up a fan on a stool and point it at my 9.5 when running it in a barrel in my shop (no air movement). The primer bulb is supposed to soften once the engine starts sucking gas on its own. At that point it isn't a primer bulb per say but just a fat part of the suction hose. Best of luck. Rick.

Start point for me would be to fix the fuel leak. It will be sucking air in all likelihood. Let us know if that helps. Rick.
