Honda 9.9 kicker start problem

Hi, My kicker 9.9 has alway worked perfectly although not used much. Three pulls it would always start. Last week it was needed while out on t5he ocean oin emergency. It failed to start and once when it did it started under vchoke and then died. The pump bulb suddenly became hard to squeeze. Question, Is there a check valve at the motor connection and and if so can this cause a blockage? thnx, CJ
 
If the connection is " loose " you will not be able to pump any fuel.---------------If the carburetor is full you will not be able to pump any more fuel !!------------The carburetors on these motors plug easily if fuel is left sitting in them.-------------When done using the motor always let it run till carburetor is empty.-------------------Sounds like the carburetor needs to be TAKEN APART for cleaning.
