Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Weed Trimmer, fuel lines, fuel filter


Question
I have a Echo SRM-2400. The primer bulb was cracked and I replaced it, but I can not get it to purge,no gas will come thru the bulb. Could the carb. be clogged up or the gas intake gas line cracked.  THANKS ALOT

Answer
It could be either of those or a clogged fuel filter.  If the bulb is slow to re-inflate then I would bet on either the filter or the carburetor being clogged.  The fuel lines and filter should always be changed when rebuilding or replacing the carburetor so it's probably worth just doing everything all at once.  Thanks, PK.
