Alright I did a lil reseach......I got my motor rebuilt (it ran great) until the ball began to collaps flat like a pan cake.At about 4000RPM sooo Ive got a brand new Ball on it while its doing this so I know its not the ball...The fuel lines are also brand new...HOWEVER I havent checked the fuel water seperator And I have never checked anti syphin and the vent BECAUSE im not sure where they are Ive never delt with them before.....

Could anyone explain to me where these items are on the fuel take its a 20 gallon tank shaped like a U and about 2 feet wide with 2 wires on the top and a black hose going to it a big one and a little one the 2 wires lead to a metal plate on the top....

What Do I need to do to check these things does anyone have anything pictures or anything so I can figure what is what....

Fuel tank vent plugged or pick up in tank collapsed, would cause
the bulb to collapse. Don't know about wires, perhaps the sending
wires for a guage.

The fuel supply is plugged somewhere. Debris in the tank could have plugged up the fuel pickup screen. If you unscrew the fitting from the top of the tank, the pick up tube and screen should come out with it.

hope it helps
