How to Install a Rubber Cover on a Gas Primer for a Toro Snow Blower

The rubber cover, or bulb, over the gas primer is the piece that depresses when you push the primer to send gas into your Toro snow blower's engine prior to ignition. Over time, the rubber cover on your snow blower can wear out, requiring replacement. However, this is a relatively simple fix that does not require the costly aid of a professional. Homeowners can install a new rubber cover on your Toro snow blower's gas primer with minimal prior troubleshooting experience.

  Remove the Toro snow blower's cover by loosening and removing the screws that secure it. You can remove these screws with a Phillips screwdriver.

  Remove the screws immediately surrounding the primer's rubber cover with your Phillips screwdriver. These are the screws that secure the cover in place. Pull off the cover once these screws have been removed.
