If there is a leak of air between the primary and the engine..?? Does the manual primer pump have a closed or lock position? Possible air getting in through there???

If you have the old style primer pump (the one with the white cap you unscrew and pump)..do you see fuel leak when you pump it? If so replace it. if its the black one that is like a sleeve that covers the inner parts that is the new style and unlikely at isse. Are your rubber lines at the primary old or new? and have the hose clamps been tightend so tight they cut into the rubber?


The Old stlye pump screws and locks in the down positiion..it has a knurled rim.

THe new style does not lock.....looks like a small hotdog stuffed on a spike. Here is a new style photo
