Question

How do you change the primer bulb on a Stihl FS44 trimmer?

Answer 1

Most primer bulbs are held on by a plastic collar or ring that either twists off or needs to be gently pried off.  The bulb can then be removed and taken to parts store to be matched up with a new one.

Answer 2

You need a t-27 torx to take off the screws to remove the back cover, and the carburetor.  The primer bulb is all one piece.  The part number is 4130 350 6200.  You can get it from any Stihl dealer.  If you need to find one, go to http://www.stihlusa.com
