Priming bulb, fuel lines, ethanol

[elmerinva]

Since they've been adding ethanol to gasoline, all my two-stroke fuel lines and priming bulbs have gotten hard and cracked, requiring replacement. Anyone else having these kinds of problems? The priming bulb is expecially hard to replace--no one seems to have this part for my old, old engines--Homelite blower for example.

I just had to replace the fuel lines and primer bulb on my Homelite string trimmer. I found the replacement bulb at a local small engine repair shop.

Lowe's has primer bulbs. Saw them the other day . In the parts area. (Blades, belts)
