The last couple of trips i have had a problem with having to prime the fuel bulb everytime i want to move. I have replaced the hose with new stuff, the fuel priming bulb and also the water filter.
A couple of things that i have found is
that i can blow back down the thank breathers easy
the petrol don't flow that fast though the petrol priming bulb when i unhook it from seperator{ very bubly}and prime it into a bucket.
if i put a bolt into the end of the hose to block the hole after the priming bulb, it still loses pressure in a hour or so.
there is no crap in the external hull fuel breathers.

I was woundering if i might need a new 0ring on my fuel cap, as i think i have tried everthing else.
Any answer to this problem??????? ::)

All new fuel lines and bulb??
Had a motor I had to prime everytime till I put new diaphrams in the fuel pumps... ;)
Think they were 8 bucks to replace each..

just a guess,, but have a look at the fuel pick in your tank.
some of these are just a piece of hose with a filter on the bottom. this hose may be cracked therefore sucking air as well as the fuel. this will cause the loss of pressure in the fuel line.
