    quote Jerry Ahrens:

    Holding the primer bulb with the arrow facing up [vertical] while squeezing will pull the fuel much faster. This is because of the check valves in the primer bulb. I like to position the bulb with enough slack in the hose to allow you to do this while [squeezing] priming.

    I concur with what Jerry has said. The easier for the check valve to work the better. If you have a hose that seems to be slow to prime, try this trick. These check valves are not of the highest quality.
