homelite xl gas cap /primer bulb

[campazzada]

I have a homelite XL with a bad primer bulb/gas cap. just wonderin if I can plug the primer bulb line and just use a regular gas cap. I see some of these saw didn't have the primer bulb. The only gas cap I can find onthe BAY is 20.00 deosent seem worth puttin it on a saw that's only worth double that , if that and the regular gas caps are much cheaper........ any ideas also the tag on the saw says UT 407531 SER # HR2181272 I look it up on parts sites in the internet and cant come up with anything. the tag is quite faded and wore out.

Yeah, just plug the line, and get the regular cap.

I'd say put a drop in tank fuel filter on the end of the line and drop it into the tank then put on a regular cap. Wouldn't that be a better idea on how to get around the primer cap?
