great shape, works fine! $125 plus shipping
 
Likewise, I have several available for people who are willing to make a larger package deal.
 
So should there be an expectation that the hand pump on these will lift fuel from a bucket or such on a dry pump and lines, or is it mainly just to put pressure on the fuel line feed to help fill the carb bowls for a wet pump and lines?

If you work it long enough, it will prime from scratch. But it’s like filling a car tire from a bicycle pump.

Vehicle that sit more a long time have been able fill the carburetor bowl pretty easy. What I found works best is on the up stroke hold the handle at the top. This allows the vacuum created pull the fuel out of the tank. Then slowly let the handle down. Guess once gas is in the diaphragm I still operate the handle the same way. Holding at the top can watch the fuel level in the sight glass continue to rise.
