Re: Why is my bulb in my fuel line collapsing
As others have said, it is still either the bulb or something in the fuel system before the bulb and not after the bulb. here
Not sure if the anti-siphon valve has any affect when doing this. it didnt for me. But it was a small tank in a small boat. [links]
Re: Why is my bulb in my fuel line collapsing more
I've had luck with reversing the bulb and putting the engine side fuel line in a tank of gas. Pumping the bulb will either have pressure on it indicating a fuel restriction or it may even force off the contamination on the inlet screen in the tank. If it's the inlet screen then it will clog up again soon but at least you will know the problem. [links]
The anti-siphon valve prevents the fuel from being siphoned out of the tank if there is leak in the fuel system between the tank and the engine. more
To reduce the risk of fuel connections leaking, any connection which permanently carries fuel must be made with efficient screwed, compression, cone brazed or flanged joints (see diagram - Fuel connections in rigid fuel pipework). Soft soldered and push-on joints will quickly fail if exposed to excess heat, potentially adding more fuel to a fire. They must not be used. Where flexible hoses are connected to rigid components of the fuel system, e.g. pipes and filters, the connections must be made with metallic clamps onto proper hose nozzles. It's not acceptable to just push a flexible hose over the bare end of a rigid pipe - even if a clamp is used! [2.15]

Cast iron keel, stainless steel J-bolt and mild steel nut. Yes it left the factory this way ! This galvanic soup was doomed to failure the day it left the factory.
Aren't you glad you found this yourself rather than paying me $700.00 to find it for you ?
I nside we find loose motor mounts and as shown at right the stuffing box locking nut has no cotter pins and the shaft does not line up in the center of the nut.
Can’t keep your outboard motor running? This easy fix might make your day! Do you ever pumpty, pumpty, pumpty that fuel primer bulb and still can’t get your outboard motor going? In under two minutes, you could learn how to solve the problem for good! This helpful YouTube video by Succstrat explains what might be affecting your ability to get going. The way you have your primer bulb mounted could be your issue—and even if it isn’t–this guy’s accent and deadpan delivery are worth watching!
