Re: Caruretor
Ray,
That may indicate something. If the o-ring is bad it could cause fuel to leak by, (I think). If it is not in the locked position fuel can be drawn past the primer piston and fed through the primer nozzle into the engine. From what little experience I have when I looked at a disassembled primer it it a simple piece. (Can't tell that from the prices, though)! There is an o-ring on the piston and a check valve ball that opens when you pull the primer handle out to fill it. Then, the ball closes the primer intake line allowing the primer fuel to travel down the primer line to the nozzle in the engine's intake. Normally when you pull the primer out you wait for a few seconds to allow it to fill, you can sometimes hear it. Then you push it in. If you have to pump it to get any draw the o-ring may be tired. But still, Dave, brought up a good point that it could be coming through the primer. What you described is exactly what happened to me with my L-2's primer.
