[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 458710, member: 3278"] [size=5]Let's try a few simpler things before diving into spark. The primer bulb should not be firm at all no matter what RPM the engine runs at. The bulb is on the suction side of the pump when the engine is running so will never be firm. Now.....When the engine exhibits this issue have someone pump the primer bulb and see if the engine regains and maintains RPM. That will tell you if you have a fuel pump issue. Start there. Look for any kinked fuel delivery lines from the tank to the engine as well. Third item. If you have the silver colored fuel line, get rid of it. That line comes apart internally and will create a fuel restriction. Do a search on here and you will see the photos of this. [/size] [/QUOTE]
