Why you have to push the button for gas of the lawn mower?

If you are talking about the bulb button it is a primer to get gas to the carburetor if the mower has not run for awhile. Usually not needed to restart a warm mower.

You may have a crack and/or leak in either the bulb itself or the fuel lines between the bulb and the gas tank and carb.


Mcculloch Leaf blower wont run without the choke on?

You might check your primer bulb. Mine was cracked and the only way it would run was with the choke on about half way. I changed the primer bulb -- problem solved. Hope this helps.


How do you replace poulan chainsaw fuel line?

I'm having the same problem with my Poulan chainsaw and weed eater. I think the line starts with the fuel filter in the tank and travels up to the primer bulb, out of the bulb into the carburetor, and out of the carburetor back to the tank. Whatever the size of line is that hooks to the fuel filter is what will hook to the primer bulb and then the carburetor. Then one more single line returns to the tank. I may not be correct on this, but there's not much information available. The diagram on Poulan's website does not show the routing of the fuel lines. that is right but to remove the main line you need to drain fuel and pull the line out from the fuel tank neck first because it has a connection that will not fit threw the hole in top. to replace it cut new line at a slaint and fir it threw from the top down into the fuel tank. then keep it long and pull out enough threw the fuel cap to put fitting back on it and fuel filter then pull it back threw and hook it to primer bubble. Not sure about your answer I have two different size fuel lines on mine. The larger line if I remember correctly runs from primer bulb to the right of fuel tank where the larger opening is located. The smaller line is where I am confused at shouldn't the smaller line from the fuel tank that has in tank filter attached run up to carburetor. then a smaller line from primer bulb to second fitting on carb. byrumjr the line starts with the fuel filter in the tank and travels up to the carburetor out of the carburetor into the primer bulb, out of the primer bulb back in the tank


Where do fuel line go on poulan chainsaw?

byrumjr the line starts with the fuel filter in the tank and travels up to the carburetor out of the carburetor into the primer bulb, out of the primer bulb back in the tank raylago fuel line routing is as follows for all 2 cycle with primer ball external to the carb. remember the fuel is sucked into the carb, not puished or blown into the carb. the filtered line from the fuel tank goes to the "in" side of the carb. this is usually right next to the high speed adjustment screw on a walbro carb. the "out" line from the carb goes to the suction side of the primer ball, the output of the primer ball goes back to the return line in the fuel tank. if you have to run the choke and the carb high speed screw will not adjust properly, reverse the in and out lines to the carb.


How is light produced in an ordinary incandescent bulb?

Electric power is put trough a metallic filament inside a bulb that is filled with an inert gas. the filament is surrounded by the inert gas rather then air to stop the metallic filament from oxidizing when it starts to glow as a result of the electricity being run through it. the glowing filament produces the light.

How much does a light bulb cost to run daily?

You have to have three factors to calculate this cost. First what you are charged per Kw/hr from your power supplier, second the wattage size of the bulb that you want to do the calculation on and third the voltage of the bulb. Give me these and I can tell you how it costs to run the bulb per hour.
