[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 495532, member: 3278"] [B]You can disconnect the fuel tank and line completely from the engine once you have pumped the bulb and filled the carburetor bowl. There is ZERO vacuum in the carb bowl as the bowl is vented to the atmosphere so the vacuum in the fuel line theory is just that.....a theory. Another BS story you will read is that the bulb does not stay hard when the engine is running. It is not supposed to stay hard as it is on the suction side of the fuel pump. Only time it is firm is when you pump it and fill the bowl and shut the needle and seat in the carb. Do yourself a favor and check and see if the choke blade is closing COMPLETELY. If you see an air gap at the top and bottom......it is not and needs to be. [/B] [/QUOTE]
