Poulan Pole Saw Bulb-Purge "snap-in"
PartSelect Number PS9471212
Manufacturer Part Number 530047721
This primer bulb, also known as a purge bulb, is used to push more fuel from the fuel tank into the carburetor of your small engine equipment, to help the engine start easier. Over time and through extended use and exposure to gas and oil, the bulb of the primer will eventually lose its elasticity and crack or break. This bulb is made of plastic and can be replaced by accessing the ignition system. Disconnect the fuel lines and pop out the bulb with a set of pliers, and once you pop in the new bulb, you just reconnect the fuel lines. This bulb is compatible with a variety of makes and models of small engine equipment and is sold as an individual part.
Installation Instructions
Robert from MANVILLE, NJ
Replace the fuel lines
Replaced all fuel lines. Followed instructions found on Partselect.com, which said to insert cut fuel line in tank and use forceps to reach back in the tank and pull the fuel line through. The problem was that I did not have forceps, or needle nosed pliers that could reach the end of the hose.

Instead of running the line into the tank, I found another suggestion online to run the line from inside the tank outward, allowing me to grab the line with any pliers and thread it. The way I did this was used about a foot length of 14 gauge copper wire. Put an inch or two into the hose (that has been cut on an angle), and use a little black tape to secure the hose on the wire. Now you should be able to route the stiff wire from inside the tank to the fuel hole in the tank. Fish the wire through, and it should be enough to get the tapered end through the tank. Pull the copper wire, mine came out, but there was enough of the hose exposed on the outside of the tank for me to grab with pliers and pull it through.
