In an earlier post you said your edger didn't have a primer so I'm not
sure why you are looking for one. The picture shows one but then does
not list a part number, probably because your model doesn't use one.
It's just a generic picture that is used in lots of parts lists.

Parts for the carb itself should be available locally from any decent
power equipment shop. Just tell them you need parts for a Walbro carb
and give them the number off the carb body. Should either be WT-242 or
WT-308 (according to the Poulan parts list.) Don't mention that it is
for a Poulan and they should be glad to help you.

Or if you will tell me exactly what parts you need, I'll see what I can
do as far as getting you the correct part numbers.

Further investigation resulted in a discovery that the tiny fuel line
that snakes from the tank to the carburetor is dry-rotted, and it
disintegrated into my hands as I touched it. Hence I need to replace
that before going any further. Only thing is, I can't really tell yet
how that lines gets to the carburetor. It seems to snake along the
side of the housing next to the tank and then it disappears into the
housing innards. It appears I will have to disassemble the entire
housing in order to find where the end of the line connects. That
would seem to be a major job, I say with despair. Then of course I
have to find replacement line (or I guess tubing),

Hoping you might cheer me up with a helpful suggestion or two about
how to deal with re-fitting this fuel line, I will delay attacking the
housing until I find a piece of tubing, which I will now go seek. Are
you there?

Thanks for your helps
