V417 Versahandler Quit Running. Look what came out of the primer.

The last time I saw a primer bulb like that was on an outboard motor. Is that OEM?

I only had algie issues once years ago on my JD 770. Steel tank, in front of instrument panel. What a mess! Had to clean out lines, filter, pressure wash tank and so forth. Algie can't grow without water. Water can't form if tanks are full. But I'm sure that some additives can help remove small amounts of water. I believe that once algie is in there it has to be eliminated completely otherwise it may grow again.

Yes, OEM.

Bobcat also uses it on the Toolcat.

My 5610 Series F.

Nice Power, but baby needs a bath!

If you mean the Toolcat, I will tell my wife. She stirs up a lot of dust with the 7' brush hog. :laughing:

OK, thanks to all who have responded and helped me out. Ever since I changed the primer bulb, I haven't had any issues. But, it's been over week and the machine starts and runs great!! I've got more heavy use in restoring a dry creek-bed this week so we'll see how 5 days of constant usage will work with the new bulb.

I really appreciate all who've helped me!! Thanks!!

Sorry about posting this reply in your thread by mistake. I'm not sure how it happened - but - I do believe the primer bulb was the cause of my starting problem.
