[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 327197, member: 7544"] I had a motor with the same symptoms a couple of years ago. It turned out that the fitting where the line connected to the motor was letting the pump suck in some air with the fuel. But when you pumped the bulb hard it wouldn't leak there. Turns out the o-ring seal was working like a check valve of sort, it would allow air in but not let fuel leak. I ended up replacing the o-ring in the female side of the connector and never had the problem again. [/QUOTE]
