Best Primer Kit?

[SkiDaddy]

I had one of the bulb type primers JSS sells and after a year it started flooding my engine during the summer :bs2: (supposedly the ball got rusty & didn't seal anymore), so I removed it. Now I need a primer for cold weather starting, but want to avoid the flooding this time.:banghead:

So who sells the best primer kit?

just buy the plunger type, you shouldn't need the kit, every thing should already be there in the carb if you already had a primer.

LOL - I just bought one of those bulb type primers because I was tired of replacing leaking plunger type primers. I figured the bulb doesn't have any moving parts so less likely to fail :banghead:

To be honest Bob this is something you will have to replace every few years .I've bought from a few different sources and they go bad after a few years .Just get a few spare plunger style ones to replace every 3-5 yrs or so.

The bulb ones are junk as you learned already:biggthumpup:

 

[SkiDaddy]

Even if so, my question still remains - who sells the best one?

I use the bulb and have had it on for three years now with no problems.

I spoke to JSS about the rusty check ball once, he said he was going to look in to a SS check ball. I don't know if he ever did or not. I would think that would fix it.


No that I think about it, I think he put in a SS check ball in mine when the rubber pump dome poped off.

primers suck.just more stuff to go wrong.plus my skis have never needed them:dunno:

I second Butti on that one if it is set up properly you shouldn't need one.

Yep, plunger type primers only last a couple of seasons...less when your limiting rope gets tangled around it a bends it all to hell...

Well, when the carbs flooded the engine & a cupful of black, nasty, exhaust stained liquid goo spewed out the exhaust & all over a basket of clothes my wife about freakin' killed me......:bigeyes: :banghead: :banghead:

Those stains never come out.....

OMG.... that must have been a rough week at the Bob house

Just thinking out loud here.....
Wouldn't you have to have water in your gas for it to let the ball rust? (Isn't is supposed to be sealed off from the outside. If that little check valve ball could rust from water, maybe the insides of your carbs are rusting also? Just an idea
Is your need/seat in good shape??

I have to use needle nose pliers to use my plunger style primer for that initial start of the day. It was a limiting rope victim. :skull2:

 

[meatball]

I would think oil residue in the gas would protect the ball...
