Post Location of primer bulb?
Where does everyone put their primer bulb? In between the motor and the water separator? In between the fuel tank and the separator? Just putting in a new fuel line and bulb and thought I'd ask. I tried to look through some of the pictures but couldn't find any that really showed where the bulb was.

Thanks,
Duckbill

I've got a fuel pump sitting around that I could use. I assume you would put it in the same place you would put the bulb. How do y'all wire 'em up? Put them on a switch and run it just when you need your motor primed, or wire it to your motor so that when the key is on the fuel pump is on? Thanks for the info.

Learnin from my mistakes, as well as others' mistakes, I put mine on a toggle switch that only gets a power feed to it when the key is on. That way the only time the pump can be turned on is if the key is on. Only run the pump to prime the line, or if at WOT and fuel in filter starts to get low.
