Homelite wants to sell you a new carburetor assembly. Your blower came equipped with a RuiXing brand carb. RuiXing does not offer any repair parts for their carbs, only replacement units.
Now for the good news....a Zama brand primer bulb fits perfectly on the RuiXing carbs. Check with your local small engine repair shop for a Zama primer bulb. The blower requires removal af the carb to get at both of the screws that hold on the bulb. It is not difficult, just one nut holds on the outer airbox cover...don't lose the little washers. Then one long stud and one short screw will take the carb off. Replace the primer bulb and reinstall everything the same way it came off.
Good luck!

    Is there a Zama, Walbro carb that can replace the Ruixing carb? I have the same problem on my Homelite trimmer.

If there is a NAPA auto parts store close to you they can also get the primer bulb for you

  • lowndesw Dec 20, 2014

    The comment above about the Zama carb bulbs is correct. Another source for parts that I have used several times ishttp://www.ereplacementparts.com/. They seem to have parts for just about anything. Most of the "primer bulbs" I have seen are interchangeable, standard size, and cheap. Get two or three while you are at it. Gasoline and additives leach the plasticizers from the soft plastic bulb within a year or two and they crack open.

Homelite mighty lite 26bv gas Blower won't run full speed or only in Full Choke

Sounds like a lean condition. Rebuild carb, replace fuel lines and fuel filter and you should be ready to blow the leaves.

How do I replace the fuel bulb?

Homelite and Ryobi appear to be made by the same manufacturer. Home Depot now carries a "Fuel System Tune-Up Kit, AC04122," that includes 2 replacement fuel lines and a replacement Primer Bulb for 25cc, 30cc, and 26cc 2-cycle engines. Cost is $7 +.

How do i remove the primer bulb on my homelite mighty lite 26cc blower

The primer bulb should be attached directly to the carburetor. There will be a plate with 4 screws, once on each corner, which you will have to remove to get the primer bulb off of the carburetor. You can find replacement primer bulbs at PartsBuggy.com.

I just need a manual for the Homelite Mighty Lite Gas Powered Blower Vac.

Do you have your model number?

You should be able to find your manual on this site:

http://www.homelite.com/service_support/product_owners_manuals


The manuals are listed by their model number rather than their marketing name. Look for the serial number plate which should also have the model number.

Thank you for using FixYa!

Replace a primer bulb on a Homelite Mighty Lite 26cc trimmer

There should be two to four screws right around the primer bulb cover, which is located around the primer bulb. Remove those and switch the primer bulb out.

You can easily get a new primer bulb for it...most small engine repair shops will have what you need, and if you want, you can most likely snag one on Ebay....DON'T THROW IT AWAY, ok?
