It appears that my newly installed primer valve is leaking and I just wanted to bounce it off the group before I ordered a new one. (see video below).
I ordered the primer kit last winter and didn't install it until last week (It doesn't get that cold down here in Georgia). When I started the engine it sounded rough and I started to debug the install. It looks like the new valve is leaking. There is no power on it and yet fuel is going through.
I did notice that I have the number 2 fitting as output and I think it should be the input, but it doesn't seem like a simple switched valve should make a difference on this kind of valve, but maybe it does?
Its possible I have a small bit of copper tubing, or a bit of rust in there too I guess. I did not turn the hex head plug on top, perhaps that is an adjustment?
Thank you in advance for any insight,
Lynn
