Other thing which is puzzling, is the tank has to be full for the engine to prime, otherwise its squishing air in the prime ball.
Hope its something easy.
It's more telling than puzzling. Look at your fuel tank, does the return line go back in about 1/4 of the way down? If so, I'd be looking at any check valves in the fuel system. It sounds like it might be sucking air back through the return somehow or the priming pump is leaking.
Thanks MarlandS,
No leaks that can be found.
We were thinking along the same lines as a return line, with something wrong with the primary.
I have been bouncing around with this thing quite a bit, so something could have come loose.
This thing is a Moose of a Bobcat, and had a pretty pampered life in Florida on flat pavement loading orange peels on trucks for a year or so.
I believe we have it to some sort of air leak, or draw problem.
Tank and hoses are buried deep within. It takes 15-20 minutes just to get the battery out. They sure crammed a bunch of stuff in a small place.
I'll get it fixed.
Thanks.
