Installation Guide
- Ensure the engine is off and the fuel tank valve is closed. Place a rag below the fuel line to catch any spills.
- Identify the direction of fuel flow from the tank to the engine. The arrow on the new primer bulb must point in this direction.
- Carefully cut the existing fuel line at a suitable, accessible point between the tank and the engine.
- Attach the fuel line ends to the corresponding inlet and outlet barbs of the primer bulb.
- Secure each connection firmly using appropriate hose clamps to prevent leaks.
- Squeeze the primer bulb repeatedly until it becomes firm, which indicates it is filled with fuel.
- Visually inspect the bulb and all connections for any signs of fuel leakage.
- Once confirmed leak-free, open the fuel tank valve and start the engine, checking for proper operation.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I know if this primer bulb fits my outboard engine?
A: This is a universal primer bulb designed for any marine outboard engine using an 8mm (5/16") fuel line. It is crucial to verify your boat's fuel line size before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
Q: What are the signs that my old primer bulb needs replacement?
A: Common signs of a failing primer bulb include becoming hard or brittle, showing visible cracks or perishing, leaking fuel, or failing to stay firm after being squeezed. These issues can lead to poor engine starting, stalling, or fuel starvation.
Q: Does the arrow on the bulb matter during installation?
A: Yes, absolutely. The arrow indicates the direction of fuel flow and must point towards the engine. Installing it backward will block fuel from reaching the engine.
