Re: Replace a primer bulb on a Homelite Mighty Lite 26cc...
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.

Bulb or fuel line could have a crack or a clog in fuel line/filter or carburetor. Here's a video on how to change the bulb and fuel lines and another video on how to clean/rebuild the carburetor.
Hi Don You will have to remove the carb to be able to replace the fuel primer bulb. Please take time to rate me Bud You can get parts from this webpage: http://www.jackssmallengines.com/
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 +.
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.
There are 2 screws holding the primer bulb cover down. Simply loosen and remove old bulb and replace with the new one. Make sure you have the right size bulb. There are 2 or 3 different sizes.
Yes. Even though your Homelite trimmer probably has a RuiXing carburetor on it, Zama makes a primer bulb that fits it. The Zama part #0057004 will fit perfectly. Your local repair shop should keep this part in stock, or try www.amazon.com
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?
