Hi everyone,
I had to get a new fuel line in which I did. And I notice that my fuel primer bulb will not get hard at all. I noticed that there is no leaks anywhere in the engine.
However!, I assume that my choke is stuck open becuase the fuel will not get hard, and in addition there is the sudden "click" where you can hear it sound off. That does not happen. Do you think its the cylinoid?

Ahoy, Jazz.
Your question is not understandable.
Tell us what engine you have and what the trouble was/is.
Tell us what happens/doesn't happen and when.

70 hp. 1984 Johnson that has been rebuilt and bored out cyl.
When I push in my ignition it should click in the engine to sound off that the choke is working ....its one of the choke in the ignition jobs. And it is not clicking anymore which means that the choke is stuck open. this is the reason for the primer bulb not being hard when I pump it.
