Honda EU2000i pulling too much fuel from extended tank

I rigged up a marine tank to extend the run time and the generator is sucking too much fuel since I pulled off the cranky primer bulb and it will actually overfill the on board tank. I got a new primer bulb to install and I will see if that helps. It worked fine for YEAR but the needle in the primer bulb started sticking. What else would you consider or check?

    Ha, I have just the opposite problem, I can't for the life of me get the honda to suck any fuel from the marine tank, with or without a primer bulb.

    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.
