I have a related problem with a Yamaha 200 four stroke. It doesn't starve for gas unless it sits for an hour or so while I'm fishing. It runs fine at high speeds, but during a start up and mild idle the bulb will collapse. I pump the bulb, and it runs just fine. We put in a new fuel line... Same problem. We even took the hose off the bulb, attached a clear hose to the engine side of the bulb, and watched the fuel run back into the tank. Maybe just an anti-siphon valve? Any ideas?

The ball has a ck valve so the gas does not go back, I say get a new ball and you will be fine! Been there done that!! Get a OME one as all the after market stuff is $hit right from the box! Done that also
