If your engine is experiencing fuel-related starting issues, the primer bulb may be a contributing factor.

• Engine Not Starting/Hard Starting: If the engine is difficult to start or won't start at all, check if the primer bulb is drawing fuel. If no fuel is visible or the bulb does not return to its original shape after pressing, it may be cracked or the fuel lines may be clogged.
• Витоки палива: Visible fuel leaks around the primer bulb or its connections indicate a damaged bulb or improperly seated fuel lines. Replace the bulb or re-secure the lines as necessary.
• Bulb Not Priming: If the bulb feels soft or doesn't draw fuel, inspect the fuel lines for kinks or blockages, and ensure the fuel filter is clean. If these are clear, the primer bulb itself may be faulty.
