Again, If you decide to install an electric fuel pump DO NOT GO OVER 3.5 POUNDS OF PRESSURE as the needle/seat will not control the fuel and IT WILL FLOOD OVER!

I use a boat fuel tank with primer bulb on my Kohler stand by generator. It will bring fuel up to the fuel pump but does not seem to push through it very well. Are your plans to remove or go around the fuel pump and prime with the bulb? FYI the seat for the needle/seat in the carburetor has a smaller hole for fuel pumps over gravity feed ones so it may take a little work to fill a carburetor with a primer bulb.
