"I have a kicker motor hooked
"I have a kicker motor hooked up to the main fuel line from my engine through a fuel/water separator - one line goes to the main engine fuel pump and one line goes to the kicker ( primer bulb). When the main engine runs, it sucks air/fuel? from the kicker line and the primer bulb collapses. I can't run the kicker because it starves for fuel. I blocked off the fuel line to the kicker from the fuel filter manifold (shut off valve) and the main engine runs fine. Hmmm. . . I want to be able to reconnect the kicker to the main fuel line without having to run a separate portable tank but first I need to know what's happening. Could my fuel/water separator manifold be bad? Anyone out there have experience in this area? I would really appreciate some help.
thanks for your time.
