Description

This is a replacement for the primer bulb on select MTD engines for lawn and garden equipment. The primer bulb is responsible for helping force fuel into the carburetor to initialize starting when the engine has been sitting. The bulb is made of a durable rubberized material, but it can become cracked, worn, or otherwise damaged over time. This will require a replacement of the bulb to ensure that the internal primer mechanism is protected from the elements. This genuine OEM primer bulb offers an exact fit for several engines manufactured by MTD. It is a standard size primer bulb and sold as an individual unit. No other parts or accessories are included. Replacing this bulb does not require any tools, although it is important to disconnect the power for safety before doing any repairs. If the old primer bulb is still present, it must be removed from the engine before installing the new one. Check the cracks of the bulb housing to ensure no pieces are left behind before putting the new bulb in place. Once it is in place, test the bulb a few times to make sure it depresses and springs back properly, and that it actually pushes the fuel into the engine.
