When I reinstalled the generator I primed it and it fired right up and ran great. A few days later (last Sunday)I went to start it and it had lost it's prime so I primed it again and let it run for over an hour. Today I tried to crank it and it's lost it's prime again. So, what would cause it to repeatedly lose prime that quick? I snugged up all of the fuel line connections and I see no leaks. Any ideas?
