[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 267720, member: 3278"] Simple things first. You did a great job of describing the issue. Stands to reason that if, when you pump the bulb, fuel squirts from the connector that when running, air will be sucked in at that same point. The fuel pump doesnt care whether or not it is sucking fuel or air while the engine has enough fuel to run on. Check those fiirst. Second. Since you added fuel to your onboard tank and the issue started right afterward check to make sure there was no water in the fuel you added. You can do this by depressing the plunger in the fuel connector at the end of the tank hose and squirting several pumps into a glass jar. Since all you had to do all day was pump the bulb I think you will find your issue with the first solution and not the second one. [/QUOTE]
