[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5647088, member: 2805"] Nope... but its always hot here... around 90 deg.that day. I thought I had a pinhole in the fuel line sucking air causing me to lose prime, but after I got home, the bulb pumped up rock solid tight when fuel line unhooked from motor. This boat sat for 5 years before I bought it.... the fuel was NASTY when I drained the tank last Dec. Rinsed it several times, have run it 10x since I refurbished the boat w/o problems... but I suspect there is still a tad of old debris in the fuel system that lodged on the priming bulb which caused me to lose prime. This is the stuff in the bowl of the fuel-water separator I got out when I cleaned it. Granted, this is greatly zoomed in, and most of this stuff is smaller than pepper grains. The fuel.line is original (2013). I've heard stories of the inner lining of fuel hoses separating from the other rubber causing collapse and obstruction of the line... hope that isn't the case... no way to replace the line from the built in ta k to the bilge area without pulling the entire cap off the boat. If it comes to that, I'll just install a portable tank with new lines to the motor instead. [/QUOTE]
