Squeeze bulb - no fuel

[John Christopher]

Went to run my 9.9 kicker for first time this season - no fuel. Squeezed bulb probably 100 times. Disassembled fuel line and bulb - no air lock. Disconnected fuel line from fuel filter (water separator) and ran main engine (200 Yamaha) - no fuel comes out of separator outlet to kicker. What's up?<br /><br />Thanks

Re: Squeeze bulb - no fuel

are you able to pump the fuel when you squeeze the bulb?? if not your probably have a bad bulb and the little kicker don't have enough umff to prime the fuel from the seperator..

Lepper - Thanks. It really was that simple. Replaced the bulb and on my way. Feel a bit sheepish but everyone has to learn everything for the first time!
