    Is the output side of the bulb tilted upward? If not, try that and see if it makes a difference. If that doesn't help then you have a hose leaking or possibly bad bulb.

    It should be firm to hard, I don't know of anything that gets rock hard anymore.

    just drop a viagra into the tank and that should fix it , just replace the bulb, cheapest fix.
