Thanks Grumpy for your quick reply.I think you have hit the nail squarely on the head. The generator came with extensive instructions as to how to initially prime it and then how to keep it primed.Also after use when not using for a while they recommend to drain the carby which i found strange??
The generator was $700 and is fairly well made,they are being sold at every caravan yard all over Australia.I primed it through the head again today and started it every half hour all day long,didn't miss a beat.I wouldn't mind spending a bit of money to make it reliable as the beauty of it is it has a key AND remote control start!!something Honda can't do in a 2kva potable generator.I think you are also right about the primer bulb the one on my yard blower is far better.I have a 2kva Honda and am considering taking it apart to see how it is primed?? I will post some photo's of the fuel system for your (and others) thoughts.Thanks again,cheers Greg
