O-ring

If you prime the line with it *not* connected to the motor, and fuel comes out the end of the line, you may have shot the check ball out the end of the line. Easy fix. Buy a new end, cut the old off, clamp the new on.

fishing geek probley has the right answer,the motor has a ball check, the gas line has a T chech, the T check on the line pushes the ball check back a little to allow fuel to flow to the motor, this setup opens both checks.

I think you hit the nail on the head!I found the little o-ring in the boat,and I know when I pump the primer bulb gas does come out the end.
