Description
Overview:
This Genuine Makita primer pump is a small fuel priming unit designed for petrol-powered garden machinery. It fits Makita BBA520 and HTB7600 models and is used to draw fuel through the lines into the carburettor before starting. The assembly features a fuel‑resistant elastomer bulb and durable plastic body with internal one‑way valves to move fuel and purge air from the system. By restoring proper fuel delivery, it helps improve cold starts, reduces the number of pull starts needed, and supports smoother idling after storage or fuel line replacement. Supplied to Makita’s specification under OEM number BB188-12, this primer pump is suitable for typical 2‑stroke Makita tools where a manual priming bulb is fitted.
