Hi.
I have a Sears Gamefisher 7.5 HP outboard motor that's about 25 years old.
The carburator has a little reddish-brown rubber(?) bladder type thing that
is inserted inside a hole about 3/8" diameter on the engine/throttle side of
the carburator. It is about an inch long, has a hole in the end, and fits
over a small hole next to the intake on the engine. I cannot find it on
either of two parts diagrams for this specific carburator. The one I have
has a split in it and I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to. Can someone
tell me what this part is and what it's for? Is this something that needs
to be replaced during routine maintenance? The only thing I can figure is
maybe it's some kind of automatic primer bulb. Tecumseh seems to like
primer bulbs.
I emailed Tecumseh and they sent me my second parts diagram but offered no
advice.
Thanks.
