B & S engine won't run without me continuing to push the primer bulb.
Seems like a fuel pump issue or an air leak in the lines that is compensated for by the primer (internet solution for one guy).
Seems like I'll need to pull the gas tank line off to the pump, not sure what kind of fuel pump it uses, yet. Maybe a crankcase air-pressure pump like on my grinder. Seems like what small engines would use if not having an electric or manual fuel pump. Pull off the fuel pump and carb, looking for cracks in the hoses and such (8-9 years old, stored outside under a tarp and inside somewhat.
It just was used this spring for a decent amount of wood. Then when I went to start it the other day, no luck.
I just changed the shredded love-joy coupler this spring. It was fully worn out, like very, very fully. It was out on rental to customers, so worse than having a laborer run a machine.
Pays for itself well enough, and if I rent it for a week at a time for $75-$100 for the wood generated from my work, its out of my way for a week or more at a time, and only cost me $1000 plus tax. Hard, but not impossible to break a wood splitter.
I'll change the fuel filter, too.
