Since you guys were so helpful in the past I come to you yet again for advice. Please, bear with me.
This time the problem is with a 25cc 2 cycle weed trimmer. Problem I am having is simple. It won't pull any gas from the tank. I tried pressing the primer bulb several times and I hear the sound of air compressing and being pulled but there is no suction on the fuel line to the tank. Yes, I checked to make sure the fuel line has no leaks or homes and yes, I removed the primer bulb and checked it for any cracks or leaks. It looks fine... no leaks no cracks. The gasket that seats between the primer mechanism and the body of the carburetor seems goos. No tears or rips or anything. I am thinking that perhaps there is a clog somewhere, since it was working fine when it was last used last season. Perhaps some gas turned to varnish over the winter and clogged up the small orifice in the primer mechanism. I am soaking it in carburator solvent overnight to see if it dissolves any possible clogs.
Of course as usual I ask if anyone has any spoecific ideas and/or specific things I should look at before I start ripping into or rebuilding the carburetor. As usual any and all help/suggestions, etc. are deeply appreciated... Meanwhile the weeds in front are getting so tall they are sprouting seeds :)
