Craftsman weedwacker won't start
When the Craftsman Weedwacker starts in idle and then stalls and the primer bulb will not fill with gasoline or will not pop back after being pushed in, then you have a blockage within the carburetor. The bulb is intended to **** fuel into the supply line, to prime it. To solve the problem, remove the carburetor, open the side that has ONE screw holding it (not the side with four small screws), remove all the two lines remembering how they were attached (the feeder line from the fuel tank attaches to the straight copper tube and the tube going to the bulb intake side attaches to the bent copper tube) and blow out the material blocking the fuel flow inside the carburetor. Then after replacing the carburetor, press the bulb and it should **** and discharge fuel easly. I have had two of these and the fuel path within the carburetor clogs easly. Jim Hart

Switch is broken, need replacement
Scott,You might want to try a full-Web lookup on that part by means of the
http://ixquick.com Privacy-Positive Meta-Search Engine to locate a replacement for that old switch since the Searspartsdirect.com operation no longer provides them. I caught a couple of mentions on eBay while looking-up the item myself a few moments ago; that venue seems likely from where I sit (with all the usual IFs and BUTs) applied.Good luck! You seem to have some skills - if eBay etc do not pasn out, a leetle creative thinking just might result in an acfeptably operabvle and entirely clever jerry-rig using any old intact power switch that might fall into hand from Heaven. Brother, do you pray? It often actually helps one to find Impossible Things such as this, I am happy to report from my own commercial small-shop experience. And that is all. 0{;-)o[
