My chainsaw is about 10 years old. I haven't used it for several years. When I went to start it, I got it to hit a few times, but noticed that the priming bulb was leaking. When I pushed it a few more times it completely disintegrated. I haven't been able to find any parts for sale other than chains and filters and such.

I don't suppose that the replacement bulb is available, but I wondered if there is a generic bulb available. If not, is there some way to modify this system to get it to work? The saw has not been used very much; it seems a shame to junk it just for this small problem.

TIA, Brady

 

The primer bulb is common and should be easy to find.

Get the model number from your saw and you can find a parts list at this link. Model number will be something like 11-600465-09

Airman: Thanks for the response! I ordered the priming bulb, but I couldn't bring up some of the other things that I found in the list, such as carburetor rebuild kits. I tried to call, but the line was always busy.
