Default Mvvs 1.60 Engine priming problem

how many flips should it take to draw fuel into the carb.
I have the tank about 1" below the carb inlet and there is 12" of 3/32" ID hose between the tank and carb.
When I flip the prop the fuel just goes back and forth in the line and doesent seem to be pumping to the carb I removed the fuel line from the carb and the fuel ran out of the line by gravity. Once the fuel was in the line I was abe to start the engine and it ran fine.
I am using a 3 line sytem with the line from the carb one pc to the tank. the fill line is straight to the tank and the vent out the bottom.
am I missing something?
any help would be great thanks
