    1: ignore it and plug exhaust to prime
    2: find a plug, cut the bar, pull the other half of bar out of tank and toss it, plug er and run.
    3: buy new tank (pointless over a primer)

    simple put your finger at the end of the pipe, and crank it a little too much will flood your engine, so crank it, release the finger and should start, my primer only last it for like 3 tanks, they pretty much sux, I've heard a lot of complaints about primers, I guess that's why the eliminated it in the T-Maxx

    I didn't do anything I swear , I don't know if a did anything is just that if a try to prime it, the fuel goes up, but as soon as I realize the button the fuel comes right back

    Or if you want to upgrade the tank, get a 2.5 t-maxx tank. Drill a few holes in the chassis plate for it to mount, and plug the exhaust prime it.

    Pull out the primer and fill the hole with silicone. Then just put your finger over the carby entrence it will suck up the fuel.

    Mine is the original fuel tank from over 2 years ago. Primer still works.
