Re: New Toy CD-12 Tank Cleaning question

quote Fisherman6:

The primer button does not pressurize the tank. The button pumps fuel to the carburetor to prime it. That allows the engine to start and run long enough to pressurize the tank and start the flow of fuel. Crankcase pressure pulses pressurize the tank. The primer button’s job is only to get file to the carb so the running engine can pressurize the fuel tank.

If you hold the plunger open with an awl or something and pump the button while it is open, fuel should come out of the fitting. If the button pumps fuel and none is getting to the carb, there is a blockage in the fitting or the line on the motor. Hang in there, we’ll get this figured out. 😉

Ok. Lack of understanding on my part then. Its almost cooled down enough to get in the garage for a few minutes. 106 Heat index today. I will check it out and report back. It may be that I repaired it correctly but just don’t know what I am doing. 😆

No problem, my friend. We’re all here to help each other out. Whew! 😯 106 heat index, is a bit warm for my taste. Heat index here in the mitten today was about 92 or so. I can take that a little better. 😎
