90 hp runs great until gas hand pump gets sucked flat, replaced hand pump, gas connection, pulled fitting out of tank and no problem that I could see. Took end fitting off gas line and stuck it in tank runs good. Could it be the fitting on the tank? When I pulled it off and mashed plunger I could blow air through it?
Anti sipon valve in nipple on tank pull nipple off and knock the ball and spring out good to go...OPTI

primer gets sucked flat, can only be caused by obstruction upstream of the bulb (such as an anti-siphon valve), debris in the tank blocking the inlet, faulty bulb, or faulty fitting. or tank not properly vented.

Thanks bought new fitting for the tank tonight.The anti siphon value is it the plunger that the hose fitting presses down on a little rod with a spring on it?
nah, it's something they put on built-in tanks, to keep fuel from siphoning out of the tank into the bilge when an inboard engine is not running. Outboards don't need 'em because the motor is higher than the tank.
