Model info in pix (E150STLC0S) Which of the two brass niples is for the pulse limiter to the crank case? When i 1st hooked it up the primer bulb would not get hard. I noticed while priming with bulb that gas was coming out near the lower unit. I took a pix of it but the size of file was too large. The place where the fuel was coming out would be at the front of the lower unit closest to the boat opposite of the prop. Its a hole about the size of a pencil head.
I reversed the two brass nipple hoses and the bulb would pump up hard. Didn't try cranking motor yet after switching the hoses. It was late and i wanted some clarity before attempting.

TIA!

The upper one goes to the crankcase.-----No need for the pulse limiter on this pump set-up.------The lower brass nipple goes to the carburetors.----Not likely that AMAZON has any outboard techs on their help desk !!

I left the pulse limiter in place. So you're saying i should eliminate it and hook directly to crankcase?

The pulse limiter is a " flow fuse " and it was used to protect the VRO pump plastic housings.---That item is NOT NEEDED for the pump set-up you have.
