[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 67417, member: 437"] 2 bulbs would just make it harder to get fuel to the carbs rather than improve the situation, I would think. A primer bulb's job is to fill the bowl and keep positive pressure on the fuel pump. After that, the fuel pump has to pull the fuel through the check valve in the bulb. Having two of them would just work the pump harder to pull fuel through 2 valves and one bulb should be more than sufficient to hold prime on the carb(s). [/QUOTE]
