When you’re out on the water, reliable engine performance is non-negotiable. At Larand Marine Products, we specialize in one thing and we do it well—fuel primer bulb assemblies and fuel connectors for outboard engines. These small but essential components are often overlooked, but they play a critical role in your engine’s fuel delivery system.
In this post, we’ll explain why investing in high-quality fuel system components is essential, what to look for, and how Larand Marine Products delivers reliability you can count on.
What Is a Fuel Primer Bulb?
A fuel primer bulb is a hand-operated pump used to move fuel from the tank to the engine. It’s a vital component that ensures your outboard motor starts quickly and runs efficiently. If the bulb isn’t working correctly, you may experience:
-
Hard starts
-
Engine stalling
-
Inconsistent fuel delivery
Our fuel primer bulbs are marine-grade, ethanol-resistant, and UV-protected—built to withstand harsh environments and provide consistent performance. BUILT IN THE USA!!!!!!
Why Marine Fuel Connectors Matter
Fuel connectors link your primer bulb to the fuel tank and engine. Cheap, poorly-made connectors are prone to leaks, corrosion, and failure, which can lead to fuel loss—or worse, engine failure while offshore.
At LarandProducts.com, we supply connectors that are:
-
Precision-molded for tight, secure seals
-
Compatible with most outboard engine brands (Tohatsu, Suzuki, Honda, Mercury, Yamaha, Evinrude, Johnson, Briggs and Statton, and more)
-
Resistant to saltwater corrosion
- EPA rated and tested
- ABYC compliant to the strictest testing standards
Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Fuel Primer Bulb, Fuel Line Assembly, or Connectors
Don’t wait until your engine sputters out in the middle of the water. Here are a few signs you may need a replacement:
-
The primer bulb feels cracked, sticky, or too soft
-
You notice fuel leakage around the connectors
-
Engine requires excessive priming to start
-
You see cracks or discoloration in the fuel lines or fittings
Regular inspection can help prevent breakdowns and keep your vessel in top shape.
