My pontoon with the Yamaha engine will not start. We recently replaced a fuel line, with primer bulb, and now it looks like this. The boat will not start. Everything I’m reading talks about a venting problem. Can anyone help?

Correct. There's a vacuum effect happening. If you open the fuel tank's fill port, does the bulb inflate? Don't look straight down inside the tank when you do that, just in case.. Is it an external portable fuel tank?

Oh.. and is the arrow on the bulb pointing toward the line going to the engine?

Defective bulb or installed backwards if this happened after the install
