Flat priming bulb no fuel, engine stops

[florrolf]

I have a problem with my Tohatsu 90: After a while the priming bulb gets flat and the engine stops. After some work I got petrol in the bulb and then the same thing happens again.<br /><br />I have an external fuel-filter that I have changed and a stainless fuel tank.<br /><br />Any ideas of what can cause the problem?<br /><br />Regards<br />Rolf

A bad check valve in the primer bulb.<br />A bad anti-syphon valve on the tank.<br />A clog at the end of the pick-up in the tank.<br />A kink in the hose somewhere.<br />Tank venting problems.
