Fuel Line Question

[BShafer]

To start I don't have the model # off the Motor handy because I'm at work, I runn a 2000 225 fic which has been treating me fine. My last trip out it seemed like the fuel pump was working longer and more frequently on the start ups. After looking at the Fuel bulb I could see where fuel was leaking from the ends of the line that conect to the bulb.

I removed the bulb last night and cut an inch off both ends and reintall the bulb with the arrow pointing towards the engine, but now it will not prime when it is pumped.

My question is this, is there a trick to priming it after the fuel is bleed out ?

You might check the end at the tank, althou if you go that far you should replace it all. If you pump it up and it won't get firm then you are sucking air somewhere. Normally the pump would pick it up anyway.

Try turning the bulb pependicular and re-priming it. should work.

The pump is still picking it up it just bugs me. The end at the tank is the one thats the hardest to get to. I was saving it , but I may have no choice.

Thanks
