Who is this somebody? An employee of a well-respected repair shop or

your cousin Goober?



replaced the primer bulb and now there is no gas in bulb,




Have you squeezed the bulb a few times. Is there gas in the tank?



could


they have the hoses turned around? Thanks




Sure. Goober and his friends might do anything You might be able to

figure out which hose goes where if you look at all the parts. Even

if not, make written notes about which hose is going where now. A

drawing, perhaps.



In all but the newest gas engines, the hoses are stiff and tend to go

to the same place they were connected to. So you might be able to

see if one of the hoses is stretching or bent strangely to get where

it's going. Or you can take them off and see if they want to go back

somewhere else.



If it doesn't work better, you can put the hoses back the way t hey

were. That's why you made notes about where they were. (And don't

tell me there are only two choices so I can't get mixed up. That's

certainly not true.)


I would think if the OP goes to one of the online parts
websites he could find a parts diagram that likely shows
the proper hose connections.
