Re: gas line

Hello.<br />You have a pressure tank system.One hose feeds the fuel from the tank to the glass bowl and the other comes from behind the carburator and goes back to the tank and pressurizes it ,thereby pushing the fuel to the carburator.The other line you mentioned goes to the cutout switch which sits on the portside mounting bracket.This is not a fuel line.<br />Good luck.

Re: gas line

Mine has a small little pump between the handle and the lines on the tank. You pump it with your thumb, it moves only about 1/2 inch. That pumps up the pressure in the tank.

Re: gas line

I really dont think you need a primer bulb, wait to hear from the experts, but I think you may be overlooking the pump. It is real small, looks like a screw almost. Or maybe your tank doesnt need priming for some reason.
