5. Remove Retaining Clips/Screws: Depending on the carburetor design, the primer bulb may be held in place by small clips, screws, or simply pressed into a housing. Carefully remove any fasteners.
6. Detach Fuel Lines: Note the orientation of any fuel lines connected to the primer bulb or its housing. Carefully detach them. Be prepared for a small amount of fuel to spill. Use clean rags to absorb any spills.
7. Alte Glühbirne entfernen: Gently pry or pull out the old primer bulb from its housing. Inspect the housing for any cracks or damage.

5. Bedienung

After installation, the primer bulb functions as follows:

• Den Motor vorbereiten: Before attempting to start a cold engine, press the primer bulb 3-5 times (or as recommended by your mower's manual). This action draws fuel from the tank and injects it into the carburetor, enriching the fuel-air mixture for easier starting.
• Observe Fuel Flow: You should see fuel moving through the fuel lines and into the carburetor as you press the bulb. The bulb should return to its original shape after each press.

Do not over-prime the engine, as this can flood the carburetor and make starting more difficult.

6. Wartung

The primer bulb is a wear item and requires periodic inspection. There is no routine maintenance required for the primer bulb itself, beyond ensuring its proper function.

• Regelmäßige Inspektion: Periodically check the primer bulb for cracks, hardening, or loss of elasticity. A damaged bulb will not prime effectively.
• Kraftstofflecks: Inspect around the primer bulb and fuel lines for any signs of fuel leakage. Address any leaks immediately.
• Ersatz: If the primer bulb shows signs of wear, cracking, or fails to prime the engine, replace it following the installation instructions in Section 4.

7. Fehlerbehebung

If you experience issues related to the primer bulb, consider the following:

Engine Not Starting / Hard Starting

• Primer Bulb Not Returning: If the bulb stays depressed or returns slowly, it may be cracked or the internal spring mechanism is faulty. Replace the bulb.
• No Fuel Movement: If pressing the bulb does not visibly move fuel, check for clogged fuel lines, a faulty fuel filter, or a damaged primer bulb.
• Engine Flooded: If you smell strong gasoline or the spark plug is wet with fuel, you may have over-primed the engine. Wait a few minutes, then attempt to start without priming.

Fuel Leaks Around Primer Bulb

• Cracked Bulb: Inspect the bulb for visible cracks. Replace if cracked.
• Unsachgemäße Sitzplätze: Ensure the primer bulb is fully and correctly seated in its housing.
• Beschädigtes Gehäuse: Check the carburetor housing where the bulb sits for cracks or deformities. This may require carburetor repair or replacement.
• Loose Fuel Lines: Verify that all fuel lines connected to the primer system are securely attached and not cracked or brittle.
