Installation Tips
Before installing, ensure the carburetor and surrounding area are clean and free of debris. Remove the old primer bulb by carefully prying it out of its seat. Press the new bulb firmly into the retaining ring until it clicks securely into place. Check all fuel lines for cracks or wear while you have the carburetor accessible — a great time to inspect and service your equipment.
