    Primer bulb problems
    I have a featherlite blower. I've cleaned the carburatore completely, replaced the fuel lines and primer bulb. I've noticed the primer bulbe is not working. When I push on the primer, gas seems not to go through and fill up the primer bulb. Can you please help me?

    Remove the 2 screws holding the primer bulb to block. Carefully remove the gaskets and their position. Could be one of the orifices is still plugged. Get a small wire [a strand from stranded wire is good]. Put it into the small orifices until it hits bottom but carefully without a lot of force, so no damage is done to other parts. Put it back together. Should work. Worked for me.
