If you are having to prime for 20 - 30 seconds every time you start, there is something wrong the mechanics or maybe even the design of gas line for a particular model. Priming does only one thing and that is force gas so it can ignite to carburetor. If you lose pressure due to changing fuel filter or running out of gas that makes sense; if gas pressure is lost otherwise, I would check to find out why? My money says it due to or related to longs periods of no usage? |
Simple explanation in a month the gas evaporates completely from the carb bowl in the 90-101 F heat. The generator is 22 ft from the gas tank. Takes a while for the pump to suck the air out of the line and fill the carb bowl.
