Your leaf blower`s primer bulb can be at the heart of solving the problem of a leaf blower engine that is difficult to start. The primer bulb is designed to purge the carburetor of air, which can help your engine to start. However, if the primer bulb is cracked or damaged, it will not be able to perform this function.
Gas models that start will a pull rope include a primer bulb to deliver a gas and air mixture to the carburetor to start the engine. Primer bulbs that have cracks or tears in them need replacing to start a gas leaf blower.
