    I did that using an old bicycle inner tube, it actually held up for several days of use.

  • @joeanthonyzapata4482
    @joeanthonyzapata4482 Před 20 dny

    Stop leaving the weed eater in the sun. The bubble dries and cracks after just a couple of hours in the sun. Lubricate the bubble, lightly on the outer part of the bubble.

  • @DanielEngsvang
    @DanielEngsvang Před 22 dny

    Yeah, i get it!. Clever initiative. I would highly recommend that you all trying this method Cut out a piece of the Plastic you are attempting to use as a "gasket" and pour some Gasoline on it and rub it in with your fingers so that you can Feel if the plastic is "tolerant" to gasoline or if it is somewhat melting(smearing on your fingers) as this would sure mean that you will end up with dissolved plastic inside your carburetor and that is not a good thing. You know what i mean. I just want you ALL to have a Blast all the time every day, ALL day, And not have to clean out the carburetor from plastic as it would sure be annoying. 🙂😇🥰😄

    Instead of a plastic bag, I cut the end of a finger off a rubber glove and used that. Worked great all summer.

    @leynagh Před 11 měsíci

    I was going to use a disposable surgical glove , cut the end off a finger . I think they're resistant to most stuff . . . . Then found out it's one of those clip in bulbs , a pain in the r's . Why did they bring those bulbs in anyway , just to sell spares I guess . Priming it the old way was fine by me and you didn't have the trouble with these failing . Any time they've saved you is then lost anyway .

    • @wmp0074
      @wmp0074 Před 11 měsíci

      I was running my blower without a primer bulb for a year. I just stuck a plastic bottle cap over it to seal it. I eventually put a new primer bulb on it and it just gave me more problems starting it up and it won't stay running. Choke does indeed work much better! I just have to clean the carb out now, and never use a dumb primer bulb ever again!
