So, this is not a top handle saw. It has a primer bulb at about one o'clock under the starter cover.
Gentleman brings it in and says it is cutting off on him and he thinks it is because the primer bulb is not filling.
So, I replace the primer bulb and in the meantime check the old one by just sticking a piece of hose in a glass of mix and it will squirt fuel a couple of feet.
Now, the carb has a black solenoid which I replace with a green solenoid after taking the carb apart and making sure there is no debris in it. There is not.
And, it seems to run perfectly.
But, the primer bulb is completely dry.
If you take the input off the carb fuel spews everywhere, so there is no issue with the input line.
And, the saw runs fine.
So, what is the deal with the primer or purge pump with an Mtronic carb ?
Just an afterthought so they can use the same plastic molding ?
I can run this saw extensively and there is no fuel, at all, in the bulb.
Help me understand this.
