Engine Part question

[cdstelly]

I have a 4stroke 9.9 mercury. There is a part on the engine itself that I dont know the name of.. It is the little (perhaps 1inch diameter) black rubber 'priming bulb' that you press a dozen times before starting your engine...

It ruptured last time I went to start the engine, so I need to replace it.. Haha I don't want to look to ridiculous when I go to ask the local shop to order it... Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I tried googling it but all that would come up are the bulbs on the fuel line.. Thanks in advance

It's mounted on the cowling? If so, it is in fact called a primer bulb.

Look up your motor on mercurys part website. It will give you a part description along with part number.

X2 it is the primer bulb. Get the model # off the motor and tell them you need a priming bulb.

It might be cheaper to buy it online too. Find the mercury part number and google it. You would be amazed how much you can save sometimes.

Found it on mercury's site.. Really cool app they have on there to find the part

Thanks

I think it would be more fun to send the wife or GF in the shop and have her ask for " that little black rubber thingie", while you watch the reaction of the employees.
