    That sure looks simple; eh?  Not even any check-valves? Perhaps there is a separate check-valve in the line or tank?

    Perhaps trying to “prime” it a bit would help?

    Hopefully someone with experience on these will have some remedy.  Otherwise it looks very similar in overall size and fitment to one of the modern Mikuni pumps.

    Note in the text of Discount Marine’s sale page for this rebuild kit where he mentions that a check-valve has been added?
