Mower Engine Prime Issue? Try This Before Replacing your Carburetor!

If your engine won’t start and the primer bulb isn’t working, this video walks you through a fast, no-nonsense primer bulb fix that anyone can handle. I’ll show why a primer bulb not filling or showing no fuel is usually caused by air leaks, cracked bulbs, or a simple carburetor primer bulb issue—not a bad carburetor.

This step-by-step primer bulb troubleshooting guide applies to common small engine starting problems on lawn mowers, snowblowers, and other outdoor power equipment. If you’re dealing with a small engine no-start fix, this is one of the easiest and cheapest repairs you can make before replacing parts you don’t need.

Watch until the end to see how to confirm the repair works and get your equipment starting on the first or second pull again.Below are the tools and supplies we use in our shop and daily adventures.
