Gas bulb on weed wacker stays depressed...

[D Powell]

like I'm gonna be depressed if I don't get the yard work done so the Admiral stays happy! The bulb will pump and the machine will run for about five minutes then die... it won't restart and the bulb stays flat. Eventually it'll slowly refill and allow it to pump again. Plugged fuel line? Just started doing this, it's a nice Snapper weed pro. (Poulan?)

Thanks for any help... If the edges ain't neat she ain't happy! :nono:

Probably a plugged vent in the fuel cap. Trying loosing the cap and see if it runs.

Crap in the carb. Take it apart and clean it.

Just like in an OB motor. If the bulb is flat you have no gas or it can't suck the gas. Check the filter inside the tank.

You have a gas line running from the gas tank to the carb, you also have a vent line doing the same. You either have a plug in the vent line or at the carb.
