OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Tecumseh / Kirby Engines Ultima Not Priming

hi everyone, I have a Tecumseh ultima that will not prime, the primer bulb seem ok, no cracks or perished, the face gasket is ok and I have blown the primer lines out, from my experience with Tecumseh, which is not a lot they have never been real good primers, there is a hole in the end of the primer bulb that looks like its made like that and no valves in the housing, I am having trouble understanding how it works, can some one help with this please

I will try that thanks, at this stage I totally agree, if you cant fix it, throw it away, if you can fix it, do that, then throw it away, cheers everyone
