Re: Bulb in fuel line not staying hard. more
. while the motor's running. Just wanted to clarify. It won't be firm during operation cause the pump is pulling fuel through it -- but should be firm when the motor shuts off and stay hard all day. Seek immediate medical attention after 4 hours. [links]
You might want to get the bulb to where it holds pressure and then keep the pressure on it. At time start looking for any fuel leaks in the entire fuel system. Also look in the throats of the carbs to see if there is any flooding.
Already replaced the bulb and yes it is a 12 gallon portable gas tank from Bass Pro shops.

About the “automotive” fuel line (hose). I forgot: Thermoid hose is (relatively) cheap @ $17.00 for 25 feet (with free shipping). You can cut a lot of hoses out of a 25′ spool, and don’t have to waste hose since you can cut the length you need for each application. Auto-parts or “small engine” (lawnmower) shops here charge $2.00—$2.50 a foot for 1/4″ or 5/16″ ethanol-resistant line, and I don’t think it’s u.v. protected. 303 will protect it from the sun, and “303” is not greasy. The only “downside” I can think of in using black hose is that it gets very hot in the sun (and will burn your bare buns when you sit on it…) but I’ve bought my last “marine” fuel line (from either “W M”) Besides, the only diameters those sources seem to stock must be for 100+ h.p. engines (3/8″ to 1/2″) and don’t fit small outboard engine fittings. If any of my engines “drank” fuel that fast I would despair of the whole thing! Use “303” (or Armor-All, Son-of-a-Gun or equivalent) on the primer bulb as well for a longer service life since it’s actually vinyl, p.v.c. or e.p.d.m., not rubber these daze. here
Everywhere we cut, we found a problem: [links]
In talking with clerks at the local NAPA store, West Marine, other cruisers and outboard mechanics, it seems that we are not alone in our outboard fuel line problems.
For the record, this hose was made by Attwood and is not quite 18 months old. We’ve used non-ethanol gas more often than not; when we’ve used gas with ethanol, we used a gas additive as well. I don’t remember the exact designation of the hose, but I remember when buying it that it was supposed to be okay for use with ethanol gas. [links]
My exact same experience with “crap-wood” hoses! They ain’t “worth” carryin’ out of the store–much less the $50.00 they cost (and that’s for their “universal” hose which has no “ends” !”) Thermoid brand hose is American made, u.v. protected, low-permeation, suitable for all fuels (even E-85!) and inexpensive. It’s fabric-reinforced and one-piece construction—no “liner” to collapse and stop fuel flow. E-bay has several vendors. here
I would suggest placing the non-uv treated hose within one of those split wire looms that are flexible plastic and split lengthwise. You can keep it closed with either zip ties or electrical tape.
