primer

[ZIG]

I have 2001 Honda 350 es. I bought a new primer for it and now it wont pump fuel into the carb. Any ideas what to look for.

Did you maybe swap the two lines around when you put it in? They only work one way. If you get them backwards it'll be trying to pump fuel OUT of the carb back to the tank. There also needs to be fuel where it tee's into the main fuel line. If not then it's just pumping air.

there are no fuel lines to deal with. It is just 2 screws that mount the primer to the side of the carb and it acts like a plunger.
