Replacing a primer bulb | Construction and DIY projects | Forums

So we had a older weed whacker that died last year, so I figured it was time to buy a new one, I ended up buying a poulan pro, should have known it was crap when the first one the engine seized the first time we started it, I had bought it from the hardware store my dad was working at, so he went and exchanged it for a new one, worked fine all last summer and went to start this year and the primer bulb was shot, what ever happened to quality? Luckily it's only a 5 minute job

remove the air filter and the top cover

the poulan just has tabs that hold it in place, yours might have a screw holding it in

remove the lines keeping track of which goes where

I got the replacement bulb off amazon for 12 dollars including the shipping

pop it in

and reconnect the fuel lines

and reinstall the cover and the air filter

and you just saved yourself 50 dollars from not having to go to a small engine repair shop
