What Does Every Gasoline Engine Need?

Yep - Fuel, Air, Spark. You don't have all 3, the motor, she no run!
Skeeters (and scorpions) - I Hate 'em! 10,000 sweaty fans in a football stadium - and the skeeters'll eat me!
8 years ago some friends and I took the war to the bugs with a mist blower, Talstar P and Pivot 10.
2 years ago - the motor, she no run. Spark Plug was carbonized. Once replaced, back in business :)
-
This year - the motor, she no run. Spark Plug essentially new BUT! The Gas Priming Bulb has a hole in it!
Instead of pulling gas, the engine was pulling air into the carburetor through the hole.
I removed a couple of screws and now could access the miscreant primer bulb.
Quick check on amazoid ==> 2 choices: one 19mm dia and the other 20.
Bulb circumference = 65mm, divide by 3.1415 = 20.7. Order Up!

Replacement arrived this afternoon. Put the new one in, engine primed and fired right up :)
Skeeters - - yer done for !!

I have a similar Stihl sprayer that I use primarily for my two-story house wash solutions.
The “Wet & Forget” outdoor cleaner does a good job controlling mold stain.

Nice job on the repairs. You missed one step in the engine analogy though. It’s fuel, air, compression and spark. No compression means engine, she no run.

One more thing needed:
Suck (air and fuel)
Squeeze (compression)
Pop (spark)
Phooey (exhaust)
You need a clear exhaust. Jam a potato into the tailpipe and you can't start your car.

It may start, but unless it breathes freely it will die

Ask any Jet Jockey - they'll tell ya:
Suck, Squeeze, Bang, Blow

Fuel + Spark = Bang
Suck, Squeeze, Bang, Blow

Fuel + Spark = Bang
