Re: Primer Bulb

The bulb should pump up hard prior to starting. After starting, the engine is, or should be, drawing gas and it will not be hard. If it starts and idles fine but stalls at higher speed, it could be anything, including the fuel pump. Try running at wot while someone else continues to pump on the bulb. If it continues to run, then you have a fuel pump problem, or at least a fuel supply problem.
