No the bulb deosnt get sucked in it only gets soft then dies. All the fuel lines are new. The boat sat for 4 years before I purchased it.

It's probably one of the things that Ferm said, but I had a fuel problem one time and it was the spring loaded ball bearing type anti siphon valve on the top of the gas tank.

It seems like there have been many reasons for lack of fuel. Another popular problem is the actual lack of fuel. This goes out to everyone. Make sure you put fuel in your gas tank. just sharing. lol

Found the problem. Oddly enough if the gaskets inbetween the carbs and the engine block are put in upside down it won't run well. OOPS my fault. There is a small hole in the gasket that needs to be on the bottom to help the fuel flow. Good luck to all and happy boating
