FUEL LINE AND PRIMER BULB
Periodically check fuel line and primer bulb for
cracks, breaks, restrictions or chafing. Check all fuel
line connections for tightness. All fuel line connec-
tions must be clamped securely.
Primer bulb assembly has 2 check valves: Fuel inlet
(toward tank) and a fuel outlet (toward engine).
The fuel inlet valve allows fuel to fill primer bulb but
closes to prevent fuel from returning to tank when
bulb is squeezed. The fuel outlet valve opens when
