Is priming it clicking that thing down, the thing thats above the fuel tank that makes the fuel go into the engine ???

cuz i always do that before i start it

what is PRIME ???
 
Priming is the process by which you get the fuel from the tank into the engine. To do this (depending on your style tank) you push the little plunger on the gas tank or you block up the "exaust pipe" with either your finger or another object and pull the pull stater.
 
If your talking about the black button on top of the tank, then yes, that is how you prime it.. If your fuel lines are not clear, you can remove the line from the carb, and press the primer until you have fuel coming out of the line, then reattach..
If indeed you have a tank with the primer button on top, you might want to look into upgrading to a newer style tank without the primer. It has become commom knowledge that you will more than likely have an airleak through the primer button.
 
but my engine will not start even after i prime it and i just bought a brand new glow plug and my engine is still not HEATING UP !!! :opps:
 
LOOK! There it is again!
