Have you ever been ready to mow your lawn only to discover that your lawn mower won’t start? That can be super annoying and frustrating, isn’t it? You may feel prepared to head outside and tend to your yard, and then your mower will not start. But don’t worry! ‘Mowing the lawn is hard work and things happen’ — XINJINGYI is here to help your mower back to normal. To prime means: To prepare in any way or to soothe.
On certain lawn mowers you will find a small but very important part, which is the fuel primer bulb. Its job is to help deliver fuel into the engine so that it can start. Pressing down on the bulb creates suction, so it sucks gas up from the fuel tank. That gas goes to the engine where it can mix with air. The mixture of gas and air, when ignited, will then spark the engine. That may sound complicated, but it’s really quite simple!
Locate The Primer Bulb: First, you have to identify the primer bulb on your mower. It generally appears on the side of the engine, next to the piece of engine (carburetor) that assists in mixing gasoline and air.
Make Sure You are Full of Fuel: Your mower should have a full fuel tank. It will not start if it’s empty. Also, ensure that the fuel line between the tank and the carburetor is free of bends and clogs. If there are kinks, the gas can't flow correctly.
Start the mower: It is now the time to start the mower! You either pull a start cord or twist an ignition key. If the mower won’t start immediately, don’t panic! This time you may have to press the primer bulb a few extra times to draw the gas into the engine.
I am sure that using a fuel primer bulb can truly help you in starting your lawn mower quickly. This means you can spend less time fiddling with it to get it started and more time actually mowing your lawn and making it look good. For you, that means it also runs better.” This means that it consumes less gas, so it helps to save money! And when you use less gas, you help the environment, too. The amount of fuel you save means you are decreasing your carbon footprint, that is, you are better for our planet.
Weatherproof: Keep in mind that lighter fluid/heavier fluid less starts under various temperatures. This could lead you in freezing temperatures to have to pump the primer bulb more times than in a hot day for the gas to reach the engine appropriately.
