whatever is knackered lol . . . could be a few things, squeeze the primer til hard then squash it hard and hold it to see if there's any fuel/air leaks . . . .Smile
Hand primer is a couple of quid to change.
Could be the seal around the fuel filter housing, take it apart clean it with brake cleaner and goo it back together with silicone - again a couple of quid.
Could be leak off pipes - again a couple of quid to change.

All things considered you might have to spend upto a tenner Smile
Could be a blocked fuel filter also, ontop of whats been said above.
