Ok, here's a new question about my FS80. I got it running today and it runs great. But I still can't prime the carb with the priming bulb. Even after running for awhile there's no gas in the bulb.

Is it just a matter of replacing the bulb to fix, or is there something else to consider?

For what it's worth, it did take a while to start with out using the primer bulb.

I think I should of read my other thread again. I think JHugh answered it when he said:

"If your carburetor is not priming, there are a couple of things in can be. A bad check valve inside the carburetor, or a bad check valve in the primer flange. You can replace the primer flange, but cannot replace the check valves in the carburetor. Your best bet is to just buy a new carburetor. Depending on what model of carburetor you have, it should cost no more than $65 retail price."
