    Featherlite Weedeater Fuel Lines
    I replaced the entire fuel tank assembly on my featherlite weedeater because the fuel lines had rotted away and now when I try to press the primer bulb it just collapses and won't prime. The bulb does not have any holes in it. Any suggestion on what is going on?

    Peace,

    Turned out to be a clogged screen and a dirty needle. Cleaned the carb with WD40 and it fixed the primer bulb problem and the weedeater fired right up.
