how do i fix the little red primer pump?

I have a Craftsman Bushwhacker 32cc weed whacker and the little red primer pump on the side will not work. I went to start it the other day and the little red bubble pushed in, but did not re-fill and expand with gas to repeat a second time. because of this i can not get it to start, can anyone help me? if so thank you in advance.

Check your 2 clear fuel lines coming from the carburator there may be a hole in one of them or the filter in the tank may be blocked . Check the pump bulb they crack after a year. Replace the 2 fuel lines after a year as well. Be sure you get the same size line so it fits into the tank holes and seals. good luck.
