Question posted by enkibase on March 2nd, 2021

Gas Primer Does Not Work

When the 2840 was new, pressing the rubber primer cover shot some gas into the carburetor making manual starting easy. Now it seems to be disconnected and the electric start must be used when the engine is cold. How can I fix this.

When the primer bulb isn't working, it may be a problem with the bulb itself, with the fuel lines that feed fuel to the bulb or both. ... The same goes for fuel lines. When they've hardened and cracked, they let in air, which makes it impossible to draw the fuel into the carburetor properly.
