Hello, kids! Do you like to play with tools and machines? Do you enjoy helping at home or on a farm? If yes, then you probably what is a chainsaw! A chainsaw is a pretty sweet, wicked edged wood cutting machine right? Today, we are going to learn about a wee little thing that is very important in the world of chainsaws, the 'primer bulb. With this in mind, we will learn what this bulb does, it is important, and how to take care of it to keep your chainsaw working properly.
Think of it this way: You own a chainsaw, and one day it won’t start. You may pull the starting cord a number of times, but it does not work at all. It can indeed be very annoying! Some common causes of this issue may include a damaged or defective primer bulb. The primer bulb is a special component that assists you in starting the chainsaw by drawing fuel into the engine. An issue with the primer bulb means the engine is unable to get the fuel it requires to run.
Having said that, the first thing to check is the primer bulb. Check for cracks, holes or tears. If you do spot any damage, it’s time to get a new one. If the bulb sounds good and you see nothing problematic, you may want to investigate connections. Sometimes the bulb isn’t getting sufficient pressure, which means the fuel isn’t flowing into the engine properly. Inspect for also any kind of loose or busted connections, as well as whether they fix your chainsaw starting.
Since we’ve established what the primer bulb is for, let’s dive into the role it plays in your chainsaw. A primer bulb helps start the chainsaw by pulling fuel into the engine when you depress it. If the engine isn’t supplied with enough fuel, it won’t turn over, and that can lead to a lot of trouble. Most of today’s chainsaws have a specific fuel system that requires priming before starting. What this means is that you need to push the primer bulb a few times before starting, to ensure that the carburetor is filled with enough fuel. If you have a faulty or broken primer bulb, you won’t be able to prime the system, and it will become significantly more difficult to start your chainsaw.
We’ve learned that the primer bulb gets your chainsaw going, but it has another job, too. A garden lawn mower carburetor keeps your chainsaw functioning well and efficiently. Your fuel system can be contaminated by dirt and debris as time goes by. This can gum up the carburetor and make your chainsaw run poorly. The good news is that the primer bulb can assist in cleaning this dirt and debris. Pushing the primer bulb draws only fuel through the system, helping to clear out any build-up. So each time you press the primer bulb, you’re doing more than just filling the gas tank; you’re also helping to clean your chainsaw and avoid future issues.
Step 4: Insert the New Primer Bulb Now you are going to take your new primer bulb, and gently place it into the housing where the old one was. Ensure it is in the proper place, everything is tight, and no connection are coming loose.
Test the New Bulb: Now it’s time to test your new primer bulb. Pump it a couple of times and verify gas is entering the engine. As long as nothing looks out of place and the fuel is flowing, then you have successfully changed the bulb and your chainsaw is ready for action!
