Help Stihl Br550 blower prob

[mikeeee]

does anyone have a fuel hose diagram for a stihl br550 backpack blower?
i am confused as i have replaced all the fuel lines and carb but the primer is not working right. also replaced fuel filter in tank. i have tried to swap lines around but still no fuel coming through primer. i hooked the primer up directly to fuel lines from tank and it works but when i connect it back up to carb. it does not work. i give help please

I'll try.
Remember, the fuel goes from the filter/tank to the carb, through the carb, then to the primer bulb, then back to the tank. Simple, huh ?

1. from the fuel filter to the brass ell on the carb.

2. From the carbs plastic ell to the short nipple on the primer.

3. From the primer long nipple to the tank.

I bought a non running 550 that the guy used to fat of a fuel line and it was pinched when placed in the channel and put back together.

thanks bigfish! ill give that a try and let you know what happens after i eat my gas flavored chicken!

ok hooked it up correctly. but when i push the primer ther bulb acts like it is stopped up. when i remove the line from the carb it releases the pressure so i dont get what the prob is at all? any clues

Try swapping the lines on the primer bulb, see what happens.
Can you suck fuel thru the carb manually? I use a mity-vac, or my Stihl vac/pressure tester, but I reckon you can suck on the fuel line. Could be a stuck inlet needle. Could be the check valves in the primer are shot. Is the primer assy. new?

the carb is new the primer is not but when i connect the lines direct to the tank the primer seems to work perfect. i have another new primer i will try in the morn. but this is weird ill let you know what happens. yea the primer the old one seemes to be ok but im going to swap it anyway and see what happens. i appreciate all the help though! makes me want to throw it down the street

ohh yea i tried reversing the ines and the bulb will not pump in at all so i am pretty sure the lines are hooked up right
