Plunger Primer Repair
« on: February 23, 2013, 10:21:19 AM »
I was in the process of searching to see if I could find just the primer portion of the primer kits that are sold most places and tripped over this post on another forum.  I liked the photos and will attempt to repair one of my primers to see if this works.

I fixed one of these yesterday. I was in a bind trying to get the Invader running and my primer wasn't working. I went to my local Ace Hardware and got a few misc. O-rings.
 The first O-ring I put in sucked gas but also shot gas back at me out of the plunger shaft. I put in a little larger O-ring and now it works great. I have .89 cents in it...........see how long it holds up. :)
