Check the fuel filter, air cleaner, and muffler for plugging. Check the condition of the fuel lines for rot, hardness or splitting. Check the carburetor fasteners for tightness. If still no help, remove the carburetor from the engine and check the crankcase impulse passage from the cylinder, through the gaskets and heat isolator block. Inspect the piston skirt and cylinder wall for any serious scoring or other damage while the carburetor is off. Remove the upper chamber cover and inspect the valving and small diaphragm for any cracking or other damage. This chamber uses crankcase pressure impulses to cause the fuel to be pumped from the tank. Hope this helps!

I have a poulan chainsaw my problem is that I can prime it 6 times pull the choke it's hell to start and then it runs on the gas that I primed into it and then dies, nomatter if I hold the throttle down or...

indicates that then pump diaphragm is faulty
overhaul the carby with a full set of gaskets and diaphragms
priming a carby only sucks fuel through the pump into the needle and seat cavity and removes any air from there back to the tank
what you are doing is filling up the cavity under the needle/seat diaphragm until the fuel runs out
so pump diaphragm and needle and seat diaphragm hard or failed

1984 S10 wont run fuel coming out at pump but doesnt seem to supply carb. has new filer. when primed it runs for a few seconds.

Is this a carbed engine, that usually means mechanical fuel pump? Take fuel line loose from carb, aim into container, crank engine, does gas flow? If so, have to check float bowl in carb to see if any gas, if no gas, need a carb kit in my opinion.
I don't know liter size of engine? If fuel injected, let us know.

Trimmer won't prime to start

Look inside the tank. Some units have a stone inside that blocks the fuel line when it is tipped a certain way. Might be what's happening here.

1988 aric cat 440 jag when primed will start and run then dies

Sounds like there is water in your fuel. If there is, you can see it in the bottom of the tank or just drain it and put fresh new gas in it. If straight fuel is left in small engines in the off seasons, they will gum up the carb with varnish and the carb will need to be removed, cleaned, and reinstalled.

I have twin 135 hp Yamaha outboard engines. Neither engine will start when cold.Putting small amount of gas into air intake and engine starts, engine starts fine when hot. Choke solenoid working

just like a car before the car start the fuel pump shoots gas in the carb or a lawnmower you gotta prime it all the gas that was in the carbs when you shut them motors off has done evaporated check your fuel cells see if there is a hand pump to prime the carbs unless its electric fuel pumps either way them carbs have to be primed

Chipper/ Shredder runs for while on the amount you primed the eng

Check to be sure there isn't a small hole or crack in the priming bulb. If there is it allows air to enter fuel line, loosing the prime. Most have a collar that unscrews to remove it.

Engine wont start without priming with gas first, then runs well

i have the same problem on a 98 jimmy 4.3 4x4.
i replaced the fule pump and have good pressure.
new wiers & coil (good spark) no MIL & no codes.
will only start when primed. it will run & drive all day
with no problems.
but once it has been turned off (warm or cold) i will
have to prime it once again to start it.
i have another engine that was in it before it spun a bearing.
it ran fine so i know all parts are good.
i swaped the mass air flow and throttle body but i still have
to prime it everytime to start it. am i forgetting something?
should i swap out the intake with the injectors?
any help would be sweet. thanks.
