Reverse primer?

[voo2doo]

I have never came across this problem before so I'm stumped!
I have just built my 28.5cc engine and shoved it in my Leo.When the carb was primed it went in reverse!!:scared: I mean,when the primer was pumped the fuel went from the top(intake)back to the tank and the bottom of the carb(return) was pulling fuel in! totally reversed?
The lines were on the right way and there wasnt a problem with the old engine.
Any ideas folks
Cheers

these help keep the ventrui hole open for the path to the diaphram.

sand/dirt can get into that area, and pack in behind the diaphram, causing damage to it, or at the least, stopping it from moving, and if it don't move, the carb doesn't pump fuel.

they are a nice piece. a bit on the pricey side i think, but not overly bad.

they look a simple thing to make from a alloy box tubing might give it ago...
