Not going into all what I went through but today's EPA approved squeeze bulbs are plague ridden nuisances. After several days of scratching my head because my engine wouldn't start for this season, I determined that it didn't have enough fuel in the combustion chamber to combust. Problem turned out to be two new malfunctioning squeeze bulbs.
I had a couple of 3 psi fuel pumps that I had sitting around and threw the bulb in the trash with words fitting the occasion and installed the pump driven off "switched" 12v. I turned on the key, gave the pump time to fill up the carbs hit the fuel enhancement button for a few seonds with the throttle at maybe 3/8" to max, and the result was an immediate "roar" of my engine. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
