Experience
Born and raised in the midwest. Started tinkering with engines when I was about 14 on my Suzuki RM-80. I began lawn mower repair at a small hardware store. I knew absolutely nothing. I read lots of repair manuals and met an older fellow who taught me many lessons. I continued working on small engines through high school and paid my way through college working on mowers at the same hardware store. Decided to get away from the midwest and mower repair so I joined the Air Force. I repaired air traffic control electronic equipment and ended up in Hawaii where I got a part time job at Small Engine Clinic. I gained a lot of experience from the Small Engine Clinic and had a blast repairing small engines. I then took the Briggs and Stratton Master Service Technician test and earned my MST. I then traveled to Wisconsin where I attended the factory update training seminar and received formal training. I received a scholarship from the Air Force and am currently pursuing another degree.

Question
s8gtpsir:--i have a ECHO-- SRM 2100 TRIMMER with a no fuel/start condition. I have replaced the filter in the tank, and the grommet and 3 fuel lines (kit)that seals the fuel line's to the tank(leaking) I also replaced the primer bulb. Everything worked ok for a while. Now i can not get the primer bulb to suck any fuel to the carb. If i take the air cleaner off and prime the carb with a eye dropper it will start . What is the most likely problem or problems?I have not done any other disassembly other than what was necessary to accomplish the above repairs . I have checked all fasteners for tightness and possible air leaks. I thank you in advance for you diagnosis. -----Greg M.

Did you rebuild the carb when you replaced the fuel lines? Odds are if the fuel lines were bad the carb diaphrams are bad as well.
Take a look at the service manual and let know if the manuals help.
