Abstract: A fuel primer for float type carburetors for small internal combustion engines is disclosed. The fuel primer is associated with the fuel bowl of a float type carburetor. The fuel bowl is coupled with a fuel inlet, an atmospheric outlet vent, and a nozzle. The fuel inlet is coupled with the fuel source and the nozzle is coupled with the carburetor venturi. The primer includes a mechanism coupled with the outlet vent for introducing a pressurized flow into the fuel bowl. The pressurized flow introduces fuel from the fuel bowl into the carburetor venturi, which, in turn, enables fuel to pass into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine.
