Hi,
been away for a while, didn't have much time to spend on my saws.
I just bought a Husqvarna 132R brushcutter for $30 (40$ CAN) on kijiji. Seller says "hard to start" and comes with a box full of spare parts (read: whole engine + some fairings, new carb kit, etc). When cleaned, it looked like almost new!
I've changed the fuel lines, gaz filter, cleaned the carb and new spark plug. Compression is at about 120psi.
Everything was fine. But i still have issues starting it up when cold (have to put gaz directly in carb with a seringe).
When looking at the carb, there's a pump bulb on the bottom and on the back there's a small "button" but I don't know what he's doing, never seen that kind of carb before. Also no adjustment screws, only one for idle speed.
I think it's a Walbro.
Can anyone give me some tips about the "button" and what to look for to make her start correct when cold?
Thanks!

EDIT: If somebody have the shop manual / parts list, I would like to but a blade on it (main reason I bought it) but look like some parts are missing to put one) I would like to have those documents!
