Re: Primer bulb location

[jerry-ahrens]

Another thing to consider about the black Gates hose, is that when it ages the black coating will get on your hands while handling. Avoid buying the pre made hose and primer bulb assemblies at Wal Mart, along with the other aftermarket stuff out there…. all of which is junk. Instead, try checking with a local Mercury dealer to see if they sell fuel line in bulk by the foot. Or you can by a universal [8 ft.] fuel line and bulb from your Mercury dealer in the neighbor hood of $40. This may seem expensive, but I can tell you there is no such thing as an economical ”good” fuel line out there… except for using the black gates stuff. Disclaimer: The black Gates hose does not carry the appropriate Coast Guard rating for use on water craft, which has already been pointed out.
