Hello,
I have a relatively new Poulan Pro push mower with a B&S 500e engine. The model number is: 09P602-0019.
It ran fine all last year, but I cannot get it started for the life of me this year. The primer bulb seems not to work at all, After doing all the usual things (making sure the spark plug is clean, fresh fuel in the tank and carb, clean air filter) I can only get it to run if I squirt fuel into the carb venturi, and then it runs only for the short time it's burning that fuel.
After downloading a parts manual, I noticed there's a hose missing from the carburetor, which apparently is attached to the backside of the primer bulb. It's part 528 on page 3 of the parts manual: "Hose-Primer". Well it makes sense if that's missing the primer bulb surely won't work.
My question is: Where is the hose connected?? I can see where one end of the hose connects (a white barb fitting on the carb) but cannot find where the other end goes.
If anyone has a 500e or 550e, I sure would appreciate the help!
Thank you,
