Default Homelite trimmer question

New one to me. Wouldn't repeated pushing keep opening the
air hole?

Here's another hint, in the form of a question: What do
you
think the little primer button does? If you push it, and
the
engine floods and gas comes out, do you think the primer
is
part of the problem?

If the engine runs "as long as you keep pushing the primer
button" do you think that maybe something else is wrong?


A tiny crack or pinhole in the primer bulb will allow air to
enter
instead of sucking fuel from the fuel tank.
