Postion of Primer Bulb?

[StillFishin']

My primer bulb has the output end lower than the input end. After the boat sits for a week, I always pump the bulb and have noticed it doesn't want to get hard but the engine usually starts. I'm thinking that the reason is the postion of the bulb. <br /><br />Is it better to have the output higher than the input at all times or doesn't it matter?<br /><br />Thanks<br />StillFishin'

StillFishing.... Due to the design of the two valves within the fuel primer bulb, it is better to have the output end higher.
