Started with one pull? Wow. I use my cousin's Stihl weed eater and getting the thing started requires so many pulls I think my arms' going to fall off. But now we need a primer bulb, which is what led me to this video. I didn't know how to replace it or if it was possible, and this video helps a lot. Thanks.
I have a Homelite Yard Broom & it says most primer bulbs are compatible. Do you know if this is the case? If not which bulb is compatible with the Homelite Yard Broom? I can't find anything stating otherwise. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
check to see if your carbs dirty or not and if it is clean it and see what happens and also are you doing any adnormal movement of it? because if you are since more than likely its gravity feed its not getting enough gas
ok why you didnt show us it cranks up , i saw alot of blogs about when replacing primer bulbs they have a had time cranking it backup !...whats up with that?
hey man i got a question so i have a 2 cycle engine for a gas scooter, but i left gas in the engine for 2 yrs w/o running it will it still run if i changed put new gas and everything?
hey yo i have a shinduway hedge trimmer and i need to buy an new prime bulb because mine has a rip in it do you know if i have to buy a shinduway prime bulb or can i just buy one for a lawn care tool
my experience with my shindaiwa grass trimmer: the primer bulb is the larger size of the two common types. you probably have the smaller, more common, one. check with your dealer.
Don't think I'd ever use a regular bit on a power tool when I had a Phillips option for the reasons apparent in the vid, slippage - not interested in possibly buggering the screw or the vicinity thereof.
Very poor practice using an electric screwdriver. Damage to heads and little feel for the torque on each screw. Each screw SHOULD be tightened down diagonally a very small amount in a series, in order to ensure a completely flat and therefore leakproof seal. If you look at the procedure for re-fitting the cylinder head bolts on a big 6 you'll get the idea.. Nice vid. though so thanks. .
Good instructions but do we need to see so much of cleaning / blowing ?? By the way it would also help to cut out background noise. SHUT OFF generator! Otherwise thanks for your informative video. 😁
yes and what i hate the most is that USA and europe have different size of tools and when i service the brigs&stratton engnies i don't have the proper tools becouse brigs is made in USA....it's realy hard to get american tools here in europe.
From a computer geek : Thanks man, now I know that things called a primer bulb - so now I know what to ask for when I go to buy a replacement! Cheers!
@th19940305 yes, it is a Stihl 4mix 4stroke engine, uses 4 strokes, but uses mixed 2stroke fuel for lubrication
You've just saved me a whole load of money. Cheers mate great video. I thought I was going to have to but a whole carb.
Worked perfectly! Started the first pull. THANKS.

Great work. Any idea if you have to find a "stihl" primer bulb ...or are they universal over all brands. Thanks again!
Please if anyone knows this answer it'd be great to know if these bulb replacements are universal as they claim. Any help would be greatly appreciated
A stihl started on the first pull?? What kind of sorcery is this?
ok why you didnt show us it cranks up , i saw alot of blogs about when replacing primer bulbs they have a had time cranking it backup !...whats up with that?
Hey I got good info from this video ... once I got over the motion sickness and the ringing in my ears from your compressor.
hey man i got a question so i have a 2 cycle engine for a gas scooter, but i left gas in the engine for 2 yrs w/o running it will it still run if i changed put new gas and everything?
I know it's a stupid question but where do you buy a Primer Bulb?? I looked on the homedepot page and they don't have it
dont you have a phillips screwdriver bit?
Nope but he can use compressed air to do the job of a toothbrush
@brnemer They last a heck of a lot longer than regular ones

hey man nice video....next time take off air filter cover it's alot easier...oh and you should replace the spring in the spark plug...5stars.

I would be concearned about using a drill driver stripping out the screws

i have a 1950 poulan chainsaw that doesn't have a primer bulb, what should i do
Logemon if it is the older ones it doesn't need a primer bulb
Where can I buy a primer bulb?
Ebay
Nice video. Thanks!
I've been running a Stihl FS80 for months without the bulb. Doesn't startworth a darn, though.
has anyone replaced the primer bulb on a Stihl leaf blower? it's more difficult to access the screws. I'd like to see a video on that.
it wont run bc it pushes air into the tank and there by pushes the gas in to the motor so u cant prime
7:58 the best!!!

wd 40 is 70 percent kerosene, good degreaser, better and safer than gasoline
No u can't run one without a primer bulb there's no pressure then. I'm a professional that's how I know this
can you run a weed eater without the primer bulb on it
no
electric screwdriver on a primer bulb is gross overkill. How lazy can you be?
Are you serious!!
