Maybe that is the way it SHOULD be and there is nothing wrong. |

The primer bulb is simply a manual fuel pump!It saves cranking the starter to fill the carburetors.When it goes hard you have filled the carburetors and the bulb has done it job.After that it does not matter.Have fun with the boat. |

When the bulb goes hard you have filled the carburetors, actually more than the fuel pump does.That is why you can squeeze it some more after the motor has run.It does check that the fuel pump diapragm is not ruptured.It does not mean that the fuel prime system is fine as that is seperate. |
