Think I could get those at Academy? Mine seems to not be working any more

Depends if you have an installed tank or a portable tank. Certainly you can get a new bulb at Academy or Walmart. If you have a portable tank, you get get it almost ready to run. If you need a longer line, you may have to go to a boat source.

You can buy fuel line by the foot at West Marine and Bass pro. Go ahead and buy a spare primer bulb and connector. It's cheaper than buying the POS Attwood kit that academy carries.

It is a portable tank. So Atwood sucks or is decent?

remember they all have those bullshite EPA connectors now too
cut the line off your existing connectors, buy fuel line by the foot and re assemble with hose clamps

buyyour own fuel line at an auto store or somewhere that has real fuel line. those crappy atwood kits have some kind of plastic liner in the line that will fall apart in a few years and clog up your fuel system.

My current one does say EPA on the primer bulb. I will make a trip out to west marine.

Exactly. I had a boat issue a few weeks ago, bought a new fuel line and ball kit at the dock. The problem wasn't corrected so i trailered my boat. Took it back to the camp to inspect it. About 1/2 way down the hose the liner was all twisted up and had the hose completely plugged up. I cut the hose in a few other places and it was the same thing, all twisted up on the inside. The ball was also a piece of junk.

I really wish this topic was up 3 months ago. 50 frackin dollars for a piece of crap kit.
