Fuel line and primer bulb are brand new and I used fuel injection clamps at every connection. I have no visible leaks and don't smell anything. When I pump the primer bulb you can feel the fuel moving and it does get hard so I believe all is working well. But after the 2-3 second run times I have to prime again or at least that's what I have been doing. Also the connection at the engine is a new piece . I double checked the fuel tank vent and it is open, it is a turn screw that can be open or closed it is fully open. I even tried cracking open the gas cap that made no difference. I need to understand how the fuel pump works, it either isn't drawing the fuel or the carb is not allowing it to be drawn.
