PRIMING BULB
INLET END
(TANK)
Hold the priming bulb with the outlet
end higher than the inlet end.
Squeeze the priming bulb several
times, until it feels firm, indicating
that fuel has reached the carburetor.
Check to be sure there are no fuel
leaks before starting the engine.
Do not squeeze the priming bulb
when the engine is running because
that could flood the carburetor.
