I must say that I don’t run this much and I have had it start after sitting for a long time and it started right up. Most of the starting times have been cranking for...

    What I am saying is you pump it say 10 times by the time you get to the 10th pump it’s not as much pressure and you crank the engine over and you get pressure again. You can feel it has pressure Behind it That’s what I’m talking.
