Has anyone had a new primer pump go bad within a 1 month time span?
winmutt and I tried very hard to resolve a no-start issue last night. Finally had to throw in the towel when darkness prevailed. All fuel hoses correctly connected. Full tank of fuel. When pumping the primer, air bubbles kept coming from the lift pump. Even when trying to draw from a plastic cup, nothing. The pre-filter wouldn't even fill up. We determined that it was a fuel issue, though. The afternoon wasn't a total failure.
I also got to meet a fellow Benz traveler. Thanks again, winmutt.
He may chime in here.
