Looking for some help the fuel bulb will not hold pressure, I replaced the bulb and after I try to start I need to repump to pressurize the system.

Primer bulbs work the best when the arrow is pointed vertically.
Model number?

primers are meant to prime the system and then the fuel pump sucks fuel through the line and bulb, it will not stay firm

It is an Attwood, about a year old.

It doesn't matter what you replace it with. None of them will stay firm after the engine is started because there is no pressure. The engine SUCKS fuel through the bulb.
