as i said im not the most mechanically inclined person in the world. i am 90 percent sure it is a looper. yes i do pump the bulb until it is hard. i jsut bought the boat so i am unsure of when the last work was done on the carb or the rest of the motor.

when i went to look at it the outboard fired right up first turn of the key everytime (go figure lol)
