I have a McCulloch weedeater. The primer button is cracked. I need to buy a new one. Where can I order this part?

I have the same machine, just recieved it as a hand-me down.
I replaced the primer, and I get spark, but I found that the START/STOP switch was shorted, this means the wire is connected making a one complete wire. When shorted, the charge goes streight to ground, so make sure your wires are not touching anything metal when trying to start.

I am trying to figure out how to get the clutch/drive off the motor shaft so I can use a drill to turn-to-start the motor, as I have a sore now from pulling (-:

I found a primer button on ebay for my mcculloch fr56, but did not purchase it, I went to my local small engine/lawn mower repair guy and he had the bulb for mine. It cost me 3 bucks though, I thought that was a little steep especially considering that the bulb was used, although in good shape. When you think about it though, I got the weed eater for free and the bulb for 3 bucks, however I am not getting any spark now, so more money to spend.
