Re: soft bulb

The bulb only collapses if it is denied fuel from the tank.

Check vent, pickup and outlet for restriction.

I had something similar happen recently. I just replaced the line and bulb and the bulb kept collapsing. As it turns out the primer bulb was defective. It was from one of those cheap kits you can get at Wal-Mart. Go to a Marina and buy a nicer kit.
