"Ok, First of all I appreciate

"Ok, First of all I appreciate all the advice im getting from everyone on this board. I do have another question, I have a 3.0L mercrusier, and I also have a NEW 8hp 4 stroke Mercurty kicker on my fishing boat. I installed a 3way Valve, Main Gas tank to Valve, and then either to Kicker or Big motor. My Kicker Primer Bulb is always collapsed, It runs fine but im not sure this is normal. Any other suggestions on how to plumb this in, or what may be causing it?? Thanks"
 
"It's collapsed due to sip

"It's collapsed due to siphoning from the main tank. No kinks in the line? Make sure the 3W valve is open completely when in the 4 stroke mode. Try this: prime the 4 stroke kicker, don't start it yet, disconnect the fuel line and see if the bulb inflates; reconnect and see if it collapses. If it does and the 4 stroke runs, it isn't hurting anything but the 4 stroke fuel pump is having to work to get the fuel it needs. May fail earlier than expected or never."
