Have an old leaf blower that has become harder and harder to start. It has a Walbro WA 228 carburetor.
It will run but only after much pulling on the starter rope and squirting fuel into the venturi.
I took the carburetor apart and found nothing out of the ordinary and everything appeared clean.
Bought a new repair kit, the little black check valve under the primer bulb, and a new primer bulb-anyways.
Made sure every passageway is clean and reassembled. Went together nicely.
Applied the pressure test as per the Walbro video. It passed.
I cannot get the carburetor to pump fuel with the primer bulb from the tank nor a glass filled with fuel.
It will blow bubbles into the glass when I press the bulb.
I must have taken the carburetor apart more times than I can recall checked and rechecked and cannot find anything wrong.
Can anyone help?
many thanks in advance.
