my stihl fs 45 trimmer leaks out gas when i prime it (primer bulb). i can see it and smell it. is this normal? it will start and run for 4 - 5 seconds and stop. can't see very well what's broken or disconnected if anything. will not start and run. could something be plugged? thanks for any help!

Thanks, friiy, I looked again and sure as shootin' one of the lines is cracked or whatever and leaking when I prime. I actually thing a critter may have nibbled the darn thing!. I'm guessing either line - if cracked/leaking - would cause the stalling, right? Thanks for your help!

Must be the main line is leaking cuz it will start but won't run (long). But does leak when primed, too.
