Sounds to me like this is on the exhaust end where your having this problem... Heres your options.. 1st option.. replace the exhaust... 2nd option.. although not recommended by EPA standards.. remove the screen inside the Exhaust.. this will allow the exhaust to breathe easier.. and in return probably take care of the problem.. they have these engines restricted so much that this becomes a common problem.. Hope this helps.. Thanks, Joe

If that the case.. the carb. is sucking to much air... How many times do you have to depress the primer bulb before you get fuel flowing?

Customer replied 1426 days and 1 hours ago.

5 or 6 times

thats way to many.. heres what i would do.. first replace the bulb.. there may be a pin hole in it.. there only about $2.00 inpect the lines going to the tank make sure they have a tight seal (if tank has never been removed the lines should be ok).. I'm guessing though that the bulb is bad though... Let me know how that goes.. and if you need further assistance Just reply back to this thread anytime... Thanks, Joe
