Bypass Primer Bulb?

pgtr
13 years ago

Some of my 2 cycle power equipment have primer bulbs and some do not. I am reviving a 10 year old string trimmer and all the fuel hoses are disintegrated due to exposure to extended exposure to fuel presumably. Since it has a primer bulb that means additional hose(s).

Can I simply bypass it w/ a direct fuel line to the carb? Or would there be problems w/ doing this? (extra pulls to start) Any benefits to doing this? (simplifying system)
