I'm confused, which lines connect to which nipples. My primer bulb has three nipples. One marked "in", one marked "P", and on marked "9". Help!

Here is what I found while searching this crazy primer bulb.

"I found to get it to work proper the N - (IN) port on the Primer/Purge Bulb goes to the short straight port on the top of the carb while the P port from the bulb goes to the elbow port on the bottom of the carb. The only other port on the carb is the main fuel line and goes direct through the hole at the top of the gas tank with the gas filter on its end...it doesn't even go to the bulb. The last port on the bulb is the return line.... is usually the longest port on the bulb (normally a green tube) and goes directly to the gas tank return port bypassing the carb completely and goes through the other of the two holes on the top of the gas tank top."
I file it here in my MTD Directory as most likely being my luck I get now.
Thanks for your reply. The information helped me get the carburetor/primer bulb/fuel tank connected properly. The engine fired up easily and ran perfectly. The only problem I had was seeing the "N" and "P" on the bottom of the primer bulb. A bright light and/or a magnifying glass is needed to see them.
