G16 Looses Fuel Prime
My G16 runs great once it's started. However, after it sits for a few days it looses it's fuel prime and take a lot of cranking to get the fuel to the carb. Any suggestions how to maintain the prime or to get a quick prime. Maybe a prime bulb like on my outboard boat? Thanks

Rebuild the fuel-pump.If its' losing prime,the diaphrams are weak and loss of pumping will be the next issue.

Re: G16 Looses Fuel Prime
I would check all the fuel hoses for cracks at the connections. Might want to check the "pulsar hose" for "blockage" from the fuel pump to the engine crankcase connection (seems the ethenol gas we get likes to atract moister and plugs the line with oily crap, just blow into the hose back toward the engine, you should feel no restriction), Might also pull the fuel tank "pick up hose" out of the tank and cut off about a half inch, could be it's hitting the tank bottom and cutting out fuel supply.

Re: G16 Looses Fuel Prime
You're right about the hoses smallblock. I know they're critical. I had replaced all the hoses recently as well as cleaned the fuel pump and tank. As pachanga90 suggested, maybe I should rebuild the fuel pump. This cart had been setting up for a year or so and was in bad shape. Through the help of this forum we got it running like a top. Only problem has been holding a prime. Thanks.
