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.

Hit it with starting fluid until it blows up.
