Andy comments: On the Murray I have, the gas is squirted when the primer is pressed, and the air is brought into the bulb when the primer is released. If there is a hole in the bulb, the thumb covers it when the gas is squirted... I had a hell of a time starting the mower at first because I thought that RELEASING the bulb squirted the gas... I took the air filter off and observed the opposite. Now when I prime, I PUSH very hard and vigorous. Starts on the first pull every time now..... Just rambling on...... Andy in Eureka, Texas |
