Re: [DIY] Trimmer - 2 cycle - not priming properly

 

Do you use ethanol-free gas?  Regular gas can damage small engines.  That exhausts my knowledge of this subject...

Craftsman Trimmer (I can give model number if necessary).  Going on 8-10 years.  Stopped working recently. 

It felt like it wasn't priming properly and therefore I figured it was a cracked line again (as I've changed them out a couple of times).  I checked the lines and everything seemed fine as it should since I just changed them out last year.  I figured it could be the primer bulb.  So I went ahead and changed out the bulb and once again switched out all of the lines.  I did NOT change out the fuel filter that attaches to the line. 

It still barely flushes the gas to the carb.  Doesn't want to start at all.  Doesn't even sound like it's going to try.  After priming I've noticed bubbles fizzling in the primer bulb.  I cannot figure out what the problem is. 

Any ideas on why there is bad circulation throughout the lines?
