Hi everyone. My 1998 773 Bobcat skid steer has been hard to start for the last couple of winters I'm wondering if the problem I'm having would be caused by my primer bulb. It's hard like a rock. It used to start no problem in the winter but the last couple of winters it cranks and cranks for a long time before finally starting. I plug it in, I have a battery heater also, I added fuel conditioner, I also added a Lucas fuel treatment. I'm thinking that maybe the fuel primer bulb is bad. The plastic or rubber that forms it seems to be aged to the point of making it very stiff. Could it be that it is also loosing it's prime and therefore making the engine hard to start? Any feedback from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
