Not necessarily, its a primer after all. Its job is to merely prime the carb with fuel, depending on what your operators book says, you may have to give it anywhere from 1 to 5 pumps. It shouldn't be sucking too much air but like most things after time they can wear and the valve may be letting in a small amount of air, if its not effecting the running of the machine then I wouldn't worry too much.

Battery is NO GOOD.... need new ones, these quickly go bad, if not religiously charged and discharged. You must charge a long time when first get them, and then as soon as flat must go back on charger, for at least 4hours... regardless what is said. If ever removed before properly charged, then it will "remain" at that level, next charge and so on... All batteries MUST be flat before recharge, and full before used again, no exceptions.

Using a black and Decker gb155 whipper snipper how do I adjust the high/low carburetor adjustment screws properly? And how do I replace the line so that it stops breaking

Dean:

Adjust the carburetor screws in all the way...do not force them. back the screws out one and a quarter turns and the machine should try to start. adjust the screws one at a time... one quarter of a turn until the machine runs properly. Then adjust the idle.

When I push the primer bulb on my whipper snipper it fills up but after leaving it sit about 10mins it empties out. Why is that?

if its emptying when not in use i'd say that the prime valve is leaking on the atmosphere side, allowing the fuel to drain back into the tank.

My stihl whipper snipper loses power and cuts out when i try to rev and apply throttle.

With 2 strokes I always start with 'AIR' 'FUEL' 'SPARK' from the sounds of it the choke might be stuck on (choking the motor ha ha) also check the air filter, You have fuel and its moving through but the fuel filter might be slightly clogged. As its starting and going on low your spark unit is ok but you might need a new spark plug.
