Generator priming bulb?
I have a Lifan generator. That has a bad (leaking) priming button (bulb). I took it apart and it only has one fuel line going to it.
The generator is made in China so I might not be able to get parts for it. Other than that it runs fine. What can I use to replace it?

Re: Generator priming bulb?
I've had that problem with my chainsaw for 5 years . I just plugged it and use ether Kinda hard to justify a repair on a saw I can buy new for 150$. I did drill a hole in the housing so it can be sprayed without removing the air filter. ---Trevor

Re: Generator priming bulb?
Got the part. Put it on . The generator started up easier than it ever has (cold in cool weather) and it was 50 degrees. I always had a fight with it at anything colder than 65 degrees or warmer. Easiest starting was in 90 degree weather.
Was always happy with the generator once it got started. Carries the load well, good on fuel, etc.
