Installation Notes

  1. Ensure the engine is off and has had time to cool down. Disconnect the battery as a safety precaution.
  2. If your fuel system has a pressure release valve, relieve the pressure. Place absorbent rags below the fuel line connection points to catch any spills.
  3. Note the arrow indicating fuel flow direction on the old primer bulb before removing it.
  4. Loosen the hose clamps on both ends of the old bulb and carefully twist it off the fuel lines.
  5. Install the new primer bulb, making sure the arrow points in the direction of fuel flow (from the tank to the engine).
  6. Securely tighten the hose clamps on both ends of the new bulb.
  7. Squeeze the new bulb until it becomes firm, which indicates the fuel bowl is full.
  8. Reconnect the battery, start the engine, and inspect for any leaks around the connections.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this primer bulb fits my engine?

This is a universal bulb for systems using an 8mm or 5/16" fuel line. Verify your fuel line size and ensure your system is low-pressure (carbureted or fuel-injected, not high-pressure direct injection).

What's the correct way to install it?

The arrow on the bulb body must point in the direction of fuel flow (from the tank towards the engine). Installing it backward will prevent fuel from flowing.

What are signs of a failing primer bulb?

Common signs include visible cracks in the rubber, fuel leaks around the connections, the engine stalling or being hard to start, and the bulb not becoming firm when squeezed or collapsing under vacuum.

How often should a primer bulb be replaced?

Inspect it annually. Replace every 3-5 years or immediately if you notice cracks, stiffness, leaks, or if it fails to stay firm after priming.

Will this work with E85 ethanol fuel?

This bulb is designed for standard gasoline and diesel. While it may tolerate low ethanol blends (E10), it is not recommended for high-ethanol fuels like E85, which can degrade the rubber materials more quickly.

How is this different from the OEM part?

It serves the same function and meets similar material standards (rubber and aluminum for marine use). The primary difference is the brand; it is an aftermarket part designed as a direct replacement.

What is an OEM part versus an aftermarket part?

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.

What are your shipping speed and costs?

We ship worldwide quickly—typical transit 5–15 days. Standard shipping is free; expedited options appear at checkout where available.

What is the warranty and return policy?

Covered by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use. If issues arise, contact support with your order details. Returns are accepted within our standard window (unused & in original condition). See our policy page or reach out for instructions.

Safety & Important Info

  • Verify images/specifications vs your original part. If anything differs—even if your model appears compatible—do not purchase.
