Carburetor Assembly
The most common cause for a 'stay down' bulb on this model is a failed internal inlet check valve. These valves are non-serviceable components within the Zama carburetor body. When they stick closed, the bulb cannot pull fuel to refill itself, keeping it in a collapsed state.

Fuel Pick-up Body
A completely restricted fuel filter prevents the primer bulb from drawing fuel out of the tank. This creates a high-vacuum condition that holds the bulb flat against the housing. It is the first component to check before replacing the carburetor.

Fuel Line (Intake)
If the intake fuel line is cracked, kinked, or has internally collapsed due to ethanol degradation, it will restrict flow to the purge circuit. This restriction results in the bulb remaining depressed as it lacks the 'spring back' force provided by fluid intake.
