I believe your primer bulb is not working - either a bad line to it or
faulty or something.

******************************
After using the primer bulb, the fuel leaks out of the horizontal intake
manifold. I don't think even an electric start would have the revs to suck
the fuel up into the cylinder. The only thing that works is putting fuel in
cylinder with the eyedropper. Even then it is touch and go, using the rubber
plug 'choke' to get it running. Using the rubber plug with fuel in in the
intake manifold, without using the eyedropper cylinder injection, will not
start the engine. It is one pee poor design.
