How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?
We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :
The (clear) fuel intake line runs from the top of the carburetor (straight nipple) and goes to the short post on the back of the primer bulb. The return line (blue) comes from the long post on the back of the primer bulb and goes into the bottom of the fuel tank.
It is the opening where you insert the gas nozzle to refuel your car. In most vehicles, this fuel inlet is hidden by your gas door, which you must open to access the cap. The inlet is connected to the fuel tank via a pipe hidden inside your car`s chassis.
The single line goes in one side, and on the other side, the center outlet barb connects to the carburetor and the smaller one goes to the return line. The key here is to install the fuel filter so that its second outlet (the return) is at the 12 o`clock position, above the center outlet port.
The supply hose is connected to the fuel filter. The return hose is connected to the top of the fuel tank.
In gasoline cars in U.S., the return line was the fuel flow outlet of a back-pressure regulator on the fuel injector rail on top of the engine. It flowed back into the fuel tank.
The purpose of the primer pump is to pump sufficient fuel from the supply tank to the engine and particularly to the injectors of a diesel engine to enable the engine to be cold-started without excessive use of the electrical system which normally operates the fuel pump.

Which fuel line “port/inlet” on the Walbro wt-380 goes to the fuel tank? It’s on a Craftsman 25cc Gas “Weed Wacker” Line Trimmer purchased in 2002. It has Walbro WT-380 carburetor with external primer bulb. The carb has two inlets for attaching fuel lines – one to gas tank, one to primer bulb. One inlet is on diaphragm side of carb (side with the two Low/High speed adjustment screws). Other inlet is on “reservoir?” side (side with air/fuel mixture screw). Which inlet gets the “fuel tank line”? (Other will obviously go to primer bulb. I found all kinds of diagrams on web but none that showed this. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. (Problem occurs when replacing gas lines and forget which line goes where:)
ANSWER : Usually the line with the filter on it that comes from the tank goes to carb. inlet first which is most likely close to the bottom side of the carb.nearest to the engine,then the outlet or return line on the carb.goes to the inlet side of the primer and the outlet side of the primer goes back to the tank. The primer draws fuel through the carb to the primer to the tank if its not? then correct the line connections until it does

Have a craftsman 16″ chain saw 358.360260. Could not initially get it started after it had sat for a couple years with fuel stabilizer in it. When I went to use it the fuel had all evaporated and the fuel pick line was rotted. I replaced that with some difficulty but finally got it on. Saw still wouldn’t start. Replaced the fuel filter. Still wouldn’t start. Pulled the carb apart and cleaned and recleaned everything. Diaphragms were good and I didn’t adjust any of the mixture screws because as I said it ran fine before storage. Non of the carb passages were clogged. Fresh gas 40:1, good spark plug and good spark. Airfilter is good. Engine has maybe about 4 hours of total run time on it. It’s a ZAMA (?) carb. It will run for about 30 seconds when I manually prime it by pouring a small amount of fuel directly though the carb. When I was disassembling the carb the vent hose that goes back into the fuel tank seemed to have a small out of ?substance? in it which I cleaned out. It was right at the end the of the hose that goes back into the fuel tank and not up by the carb. It didn’t appear to be like your typical gummy deposits/varnish though. I hope it wasn?t some type of spongy check valve stuff that is supposed to be in there. That might explain some of my problems. Anyway, I also can not seem to get the primer bulb to fill. When I open the fuel tank, look in side and depress the primer bulb, air bubbles come out of the fuel filter. But when I let the bulb reexpand there’s no fuel that gets sucked up the hose. I can however seem to fill the primer bulb when the fuel tank is full and the chainsaw is laying on it?s pull cord side and the bulb is depressed a bunch of times. The saw will also start and run again for about 15 seconds then die. It’s definitely not getting/fuel and probably running out . Thanks.

Replaced primer bulb and all fuel lines still getting air in lines. ran pretty good for about 10 minutes now will start with choke but dies in a few seconds. Cannot rev. up. cleaned under both plates but did not replace any gaskets on carb. After turning carb on its side it quit sucking air into primer bulb but same results. Not positive of routing of fuel lines they broke off before I could see how they were run.
ANSWER : The primer bulb pulls fuel from bottom of fuel tank,when bulb is full it will return fuel back into tank,the hose entering bulb runs in the tank to bottom with filter on the end,the return hose stops just as it enters the tank maybe 3/4″,make sure the hoses entering tank are tight fit or they will pull air in and leak.the carb may also need rebuild/clean,there is a screen inside of carb that may be stopped up which will need to be replaced.(carb kit).

The primer ball will not fill with fuel. – Echo Zama Carb Kit For Shc210 For Rbk66b Rbk70 Carb
ANSWER : Sounds like you either have a hole in the fuel line or the primer bulb valve is leaking and drawing up air instead of drawing the fuel out the tank

How fuel lines hook up to primer ball – Troy Bilt Tb70ss Gas Trimmer
ANSWER : The supply line coming from the stone filter goes to the short nipple on the prime bulb and the line out from the long nipple on the priming bulb goes to the fuel nipple on the carb that is the closest to the muffler. The return nipple is the closest to the choke and it goes back to the hole in the tank that is the higest. I hope that helps.

How to replace the fuel primer bulb and fuel lines in McCulloch 3516 chainsaw?
the fuel primer bulb broke and the plastic lines have crumbled. i need to know how to run the lines from the fuel tank to primer bulb to carurator.
thx
ANSWER : I just did a primer bulb not too long ago, but I don’t remember what equipment it was on. They are generally easy to replace. First, remove anything that is retaining the bulb assembly, such as cover plate. On my Homelite chainsaw, I simply pried it out with a small screwdriver.
The replacement part itself has two barbed stubs that the two fuel line hoses push onto.
Make sure that you keep the fuel line tubes above the fuel level at all times to prevent leakage.

Chain saw, there is a line from primer to the carb, then what? I cant tell if coming out of the carb it goes back to primer or in the fuel tank? Then should there be a line from fuel tank to the primer?
ANSWER : Similar to this, typical fuel system.
Fuel Line Replacement by SmallEng.com
The hose in the tank with the filter on the free end connects directly to the carburetor input connection.
If the saw is equipped with a primer bulb, an output line from the carburetor connects to the suction side of the primer (once the bulb is collapsed it draws fuel from the tank through the carburetor to refill as it inflates).
The pressure side of the primer returns displaced fuel to the tank as it is depressed.
Take lots of notes and a few digital photographs to help with reassembly. HTH
