The primer bulb does just that. It has no effect on the natural siphon from one tank to the other. If the Honda tank is over filling, I suspect the supply tank is higher than the generator, AND, there is an air leak in the fitting of the Honda tank.
Exactly.. The honda extended run system the cap on the "on-board" tank is sealed, not liquid tight, but AIR tight. it should not leak, if it is leaking then the cap is not properly sealing to the On-Board tank.
IF the extended tank is higher, the sealed cap should not leak
If the extended tank is LOWER.. Honda EU series has a fuel pump, a genuine Fuel Pump, just like the one on your car, and it will SUCK the fuel out of the extended tank PROVIDED the adapter cap is properly sealed to the primary (on-board) tank.
This, as far as I know, is a Unique feature of the Honda line.
