Yes, they use the old style Mercury quick disconnect. And you're right, there might be a piece of junk caught in the quick disconnect at the tank. Can't be at the engine, since the primer bulb wouldn't collapse then.
Lathehand, quick question.... What kind of tanks are you using? Are they both portable plastic ones? I ran across a problem in one of my older 6 gal portable tanks the other day... seems the internal pick up hose was made out of some kind of rubber, and the Ethanol fuel made it crumbly and brittle. If you had the same problem, and a piece got logged in the quick disconnect on the hose side, then even if you switched tanks, presuming you put the old disconnect on the new hose, that might account for your problem.
