Abstract

A manually actuated feed pump is provided with a primer bulb to be manually actuated by an operator. The primer bulb has a pump chamber. A travel-controlled valve connects the pump chamber to a fuel line. The travel-controlled valve has a valve member that is moved by an actuation travel of the primer bulb into an open position that opens the travel-controlled valve. A first spring is operatively connected to the valve member and to the primer bulb. The primer bulb acts through the first spring on the valve member.
