Re: PRIMER bulb "PRIMING"
you can also have air leaks upstream of the bulb, especially the fitting at the motor, so it may be better to rig it with a direct connect. test with soapy water.
The other thing that will keep a bulb from pumping up hard is a leak between the bulb and the fuel tank.
It will not leak gas out, it will draw air into the system and will be extremely difficult to prime and most probably cause the engine to starve for fuel when you try to give it more throttle.
This usualy happens with worn fittings on portable fuel tanks.
