Five years on Flickr: heart’s-a-bustin’ fruit from back

Search Engine Primer

This is the fifth anniversary of my Flickr membership. I thank God for being able to do this for this length of time, and I thank you, the viewers. This is natural color. The seeds are bright red or orange, and the husk, with all the little spikes, is a shade of pink. The plant is Euonymus americanus. Isn’t God a great artist?

I have posted 1,350 items which have received 163,822 views from Flickr, itself. Total views, including search engines, is currently 1,250,849, and there are currently 65 of our photos (some taken by my wife) in Explore. I have been privileged to comment on your photos approximately 55,226 times, according to the Recent Activity page.

For more on the subject of the photo, click on the photo in the first comment, or see my "Euonymus, mostly americanus" set, under the "This photo also belongs" in the right column.

I am pleased to be the curator of a Euonymus gallery, which has fine photos from other Flickr members.

Thanks again!

Search Engine Primer question by Jeremy B: How does a primer bulb work?
Trying to fix a 2 cycle grass trimmer/edger. Don’t know much about small engines. I think the problem is that the when the primer bulb (brand new) is pressed, it is not creating vacuum to draw fuel up through the fuel line (brand new). Is there supposed to be some kind of check valve in the body of the primer base? Searching on how these are supposed to work, the best article I saw was talking about a walbro carb (mine is an old Zama C1U-W7C) :

“It pumps fuel sitting in the top cover back into the fuel reservoir. This creates a vacuum. Fuel is pulled from the fuel reservoir, into the upper fuel chamber, through the fuel filter, down into the lower fuel chamber, and up through the low speed fuel mixture lines.”
-How Does the Primer Bulb on a Walbro Carburetor Work? | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/how-does_5598444_primer-bulb-walbro-carburetor-work_.html

If I tip the gas tank so the fuel return line (brand new) is submerged in fuel and press and release the bulb, fuel is drawn up the return line to fill the bulb. My feeling is that that shouldn’t happen but, again, I don’t know much about 2 cycle engines. In my mind what should happen is 1. bulb is pressed forcing air down return line into gas tank 2. bulb is released creating vacuum, check valve on fuel return line closes stopping flow back up return line and vacuum is filled by fuel being drawn through the fuel filter and up the other fuel line. Is that how it works in a perfect world?

If so that means that A) I buy a new primer base assembly for $ 16+shipping B) Try to find some kind of check valve to put in line between primer bulb and gas tank on fuel return line C) Throw the stupid thing in the trash and get a different weed whacker. I’m only like $ 20 of parts into this free trimmer a friend gave me. I really don’t want to nickel and dime myself to death and end up spending what it would cost to get a new trimmer on repairing one that is already 10+ years old.

Any help would be much appreciated.

The primer bulb acts as a suction and it will fill with fuel then force it into the carburetor. If the bulb line is not in the fuel, it will not work.
