Please check the internal diameter of your existing fuel hose before purchasing.
Do not order based only on the appearance of your existing primer bulb.

- Check the direction arrow on the bulb
- Install with the arrow pointing towards the engine

Replace any fuel hose that is cracked, hardened, damaged or deteriorated.
