   Many small engines these days have fuel pumps, even when it appears that   
   gravity feed would have been sufficient.  They are tiny devices, little   
   more than a lump in the fuel line with a third hose that goes off   
   somewhere to provide a pressure pulse to make them work.  Any engine   
   that has one might seem hard starting if the fuel bowl is dry, because   
   it will take several pulls to pump gas to the bowl.
