ok just put a new gas tank in my boat. hooked all the lines up properly. when i prime it i can't get the primer to to harden up. if it does it wont stay that way after the motor runs for a minute and the motor stalls. if i just put the fuel line in a seperate gas tank it will run and prime and all that good stuff. maybe a vent problem? anybody have an idea? the primer is facing the correct way with the arrow towards the engine also.

The Anti Siphon Valve Is The Barbed Nipple Where The Vent Line Hooks Right?
