I really dont think it is safe to put any inline squeze bulb in any airpla
ne as I have never seen a good quality one, Check valves sticking ,rubber
getting hard or cracking or the whole thing falling apart even if you hav
e a loop plumed around it when it falls apart you will lose fuel to the
carb I like a GA style Fuel primer much better quality and I think it is
much safer than the cheap ones you can buy at a snowmobile shop they have
there problems also
But this is just my opinion on how to keep thing safe for me

Subject: Fuel system
I need some advice on completing the fuel system on an original Firestar
. The gas tank is located above the BRS, and is a bottom draw. I current
ly have only a squeeze bulb. When I emptied it last year, there was some
water in the bottom of the tank. I bought a Great Plains gascolator and
a Rotax primer. There are no mounting holes or brackets with the gascola
tor, so I need some ideas on where and how to mount it. Also, I need some
ideas on where to mount the primer valve.
Ellery has recommended doing without the squeeze bulb, and only using th
e primer. If it works for him with his weather, it should work for me.
Ideas, anyone?
