Mine lays on it's side and flops around, I don't think it should matter.
Does it matter if the primer bulb is in the horizontal or vertical position? I had a new one installed recently and afterward when the motor has run a few mins, it will drop RPMs slightly but quickly pick back up periodically. Thanks!

Shouldn't matter, check your vent cap on tank

They do prime better when vertical. Helps the outlet check ball stay seated.
Shouldn't make any difference when running though, as long as the fuel line isn't kinked.
The silver marine fuel line is really bad about falling apart on the inside. Will clog up the fuel system with clear plastic junk, even though the outside looks fine.
make sure the bulb got clamped tight on the tank side. It may be a real small air leak. If it was on the motor side it would leak gas when you pump it. Also just messing with the hose could have loosened something on the hose to tank fitting. Take off the cowling and pump up the bulb until it gets hard and look for a gas leak all the way to the inlet connection to the fuel pump and then from the fuel pump to the carb. If no gas leaking anywhere then check everything between the primer bulb to tank pickup. And as mentioned previously check that fuel line to make sure it's in good shape..
a little air can cause the motor to run like a lawnmower running out of gas...ever heard that?
Another 50 years to that total, horizontal.
