I have a Sears string trimmer 358.799260 with a Walbro carb. At first when I pressed the bulb before starting, it would not return. Now it returns, but will not pull gas through the carb. The fuel filter is fine; the valves in the bulb are fine; the diaphram seems okay. Any suggestions?
E4 WT298 N7 5-5477
The bulb is remote by one inch.

Have you check that you have the fuel lines on correctly because if you have them on wrong that will cause your problem.
