Is there a special way to install the primer bulb? I installed it but it doesnt seem to pump any gas.

Yep, Arrow aiming in the motor direction. Make sure your connections are good.

Re: Primer bulb installation

also if aftermarket bulb, point the arrow to the sky, they work better like that, cheap check valve.

It finally worked after about 20 mins of pumping. I notice that it works better by slowly pumping it.

alittle late on the tread.....but I just installed a new one and it took for ever to prime, unlike the old one which seemed to prim better.
