[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 190362, member: 3278"] It would be pretty simple to take a piece of clear hose with a male/male nipple on one end and see if you are pulling air. What you have to remembr here is that the bulb will never be full or "hard" when the engine is running due to the fact that the engine is sucking fuel across the filter and bulb from the tank. The filter is the same way. You will usually only see a small amount of fuel in the filter. Once the fuel reaches the element inside the filter it will pull through and to the engine. Something else to remember is that there are several fuel connectors that look alike that are definitely for different engines. The inner diameter of the female connectors for different engines are all different so a larger than necessary connector on your engine would create an immediate air leak. [/QUOTE]
