Pulse line problems on rn superjet

I just replaced all the fuel lines on my 96 superjet with ebay lines. I even replaced the pulse lines with it, which I'm afraid was a mistake. The fuel just pulses back and forth about a 1/2 inch in the supply line and nothing is coming out the return line. It won't freaking start!:banghead:

The ski ran fine before. I tried priming the lines and it didn't help.:banghead::banghead:

Have I screwed up by replacing the pulse lines with fuel line?

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!:hail:

I made the same mistake using Motion Pro Tygon fuel line for a pulse line hose and found it to flex too much.

It also leaked around the short brass primmer fitting because the line seemed bigger then the stock line inside diameter.

Make sure that your brass pulse line nipple didn't come lose from the case.

I purchased all new oem fuel line from boats.net and put everything back to stock.

My ski ran with the aftermarket pulse lines but I was losing some signal to the fuel pumps with the soft, thin, larger diameter tygon line.

Yes I am using the fuel valve...I'll check on that tomorrow. I'm pretty sure it's all hooked up right though.

Thank you Mr. Vomit.

I also just replaced the flywheel and bendix but didn't touch the stator. Could it be a problem with timing?

I guess it has to be the fuel lines. Hopefully I switched up the fuel selector valve lines but I gues it could still be the pulse lines collapsing.

I sort of tried that. I used a syringe to put fuel in the supply line....still wouldn't start. How would I dribble gas down the carb?
 
that will tell you that you dont need to pull off your flywheel
that will tell you to look @ your fuel system
to me it sounds like you have a fuel line swaped somewhere
the main line in goes to the bottom fuel fitting on the carb

It may also get enough fuel running through the system that all the air is blown out and your suction is normal again. Another option is trying to start the ski with both carb throats covered with your hand. This will create as much vacuum as possible to force the fuel running.

I had the supply line and pulse line switched up! It started first try after that!
