ABSTRACT:
A remote priming device that is particularly adaptable to a working machine having a handle section and an internal combustion engine with a resilient primer bulb, may be designed as a kit and retrofitted onto the working machine. The remote priming device includes a housing attachable adjacent the primer bulb, and a linearly movable member constrained to move within the housing such that the primer bulb is depressed in response to movement of the movable member. The resilient primer bulb has a vent hole and the movable member includes a bulb depressing surface. The remote priming device also includes an actuation device with a first end positioned adjacent the handle section and a second end positioned adjacent the housing. When a manually actuable member of the actuation device is actuated, the bulb depressing surface of the movable member covers the vent hole and the movable member moves linearly within the housing to depress the primer bulb. At least one spring interconnected between the housing and the actuation device enables the movable member to return to an unactuated state when the actuation device is disengaged. The actuation device can also be interconnected with a throttle arm for the engine throttle such that the actuation device can be actuated to effect motion of either the throttle arm or the movable member, or both.
