Replaced fuel lines with echo kit for this trimmer, could not get all air bubbles out of primer bulb. Hand primed thru carb to motor will start but runs a 50% power after a half hour of running sometimes goes to 90% power. Changed carb new same problem, gas does come thru return line but can't get all the air out of the bulb. Missed something but I don't know what. Carb is simple one no adjustment screwspower jet
SOURCE: primer bulb won't prime
it sounds like the filter on the fule line is cloged try to remove the filter and then try to prime the trimmer. it it does you need to replace the filter. just about any filter that will fit will do.

Check the carb jets, they might be a gummed up!

Make sure the line is near the botto ofthe tank.Thanks you for asking and I hope it helps.Please leave me a 4 thumbs up.
the filter on the end of the line in the tank may be clogged or the gas cap may be bad they are designed to hold pressure and help push fuel in to the carb
Testimonial: "confirmed what i suspected original problem was and the broken line,bad filter was what stopped engine by allowing air into suction feeding carb. THANKS"
