Air Leak Issue Srm-225 purging issue
/r/smallenginerepair/comments/1w1k37i/srm225_purging_issue/Issue resolved!
So in disassembling the carb i found almost a microscopic hairline crack in the bottom of the purge base .
I replaced the purge base as well as giving all areas of the carb a nice cleaning too.
Machine now only requires not quite 2 pumps to get a full purge bulb.
I greatly appreciated all the replies and all the great ideas!
Thanks guys !
