[jayjay]

I have a 2005 mercury 8h.p. 4 stroke kicker.Ran perfect first few time this year .I was out with my son on sat. Primed inline bulb and the little primer on motor would not get prime.Tried for a while .just no action on little primer.I cuold feel inline working ..Also all inlines , fuel lines and,clamps were replaced last year and had no problems until now ...any help appreciated

Does it start? Usually not much resistance on those bulbs on motor.

No it will not start ...changed inline fuel filter.which was also 1 year old..just looked a little funny...still cant get prime on motor

If you are using a "T" fitting on your main engine fuel line for your kicker, they suck air from the main engine connector. Use a direct line from the fuel tank.
