Can I Use a Carburetor Without a Primer Bulb

I have an older model weedeater feather lite. Can you tell me if I can change my carb to another model that doesn’t have the primer bulb on the choke shaft? Any suggestions? I am sure you know of this problem on the weedeater feather lite.

Thanks Johnny

Hi Johnny,

Unfortunately you need to have a primer bulb on your carburetor to prime the entire with gas. Without it your weedeater engine will not run.

Hope that helps.
