    fuel line problem on 99 ficht

    I replaced my fuel line with a modeller universal line and the bulb wont stay firm. It feels like no fuel is being moved but the motor still runs. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    new bulb or old bulb? If new, is it an original Johnson-Evinrude factory bulb or an off-brand? Is it mounted vertically?

    Disconnect it at the motor, point it downwards outside of the hull pump the bulb until the fuel begins to flow. Never been a big fan of aftermarket stuff.
