First, Buy a piece of fuel line long enough to go from primer bulb to fuel tank in one piece, install it and clamp it securly on both ends. Second, remove fuel pickup from tank and make sure screen is clean and remove anti-siphon valve. Retest.

If things do not approve, check all fuel line connections for leaks. Finally rebuild fuel pump.
