Primer bulb issue

Oh, don't rule out the filter at the engine. Have seen them with a calcium type buildup clogging them.

I agree with the water!! I had the same issue a few years back, I drained the whole tank and used a rag to dry it out good, you should have seen the stuff I found in there!



You have to make sure all is clean to start!! And this new gas loves water!! So a good water separator is a must!! I use a Racor with a clear bowl and drain so I can see the water and drain it.
A new ball will also take away from the guessing game, but make sure to get a good one! I have got junk ones right out the box when you buy them junk no name ones.

How did you get a rag in there. The only opening I have on mine is the where the FSU goes in and I know I can't get in there.

I opened mine up this weekend and had a few small terds in it but less than .1" of gas. I was told the Racor would pull it out. Would yall agree??????
