Re: diaphram srping

If you have a primer bulb on your fuel line (and use it)there is nothing in your pump to keep from starting the engine,except a complete blockage.The primer fills the carbs,and the engine should run until this fuel is gone.Squeeze the primer again,the carbs again fill,motor runs again.<br /><br />DHP <br /><br />Got more info ? ?

Re: diaphram srping

Still standing by my original post,the primer bulb acts as a fuel pump.If you have a hole in the diaphram,the missing piece may be blocking something.Or the hole oould be flooding a cylinder.<br /><br />Maybe can get more info if you tell what motor we are talking about.<br /><br />DHP
