How many people have to tell you that there is something wrong with the PRIMER since you are not getting a squirt of gasoline when you push the primer bulb??!!

I lost count.

OK, THAT'S (the PRIMER BULB) what I keep checking and THAT's what
continues NOT to spray out gas despite cleaning it and the screen
underneath, replacing nearly all the gaskets, removing, cleaning and
reseating the primer bulb..... what more could I do??? I don't see how
I could be reseating it improperly as there seems to be only one way to
install the damned thing. So, with the new air filter assembly, will
also come a new primer as well. I hope this cures the problems because
I don't know of any more alternatives.

Some of you folks don't need to get nasty or impatient just because the
suggestions you keep aiming at me aren't doing the job. To the others
who are showing the appropriate courtesy and patience, I thank you. One
way or the other this "dog" will be fixed.

Calm down Jason. Early on I offered my thoughts about the air / fuel
venturis in the carb throat and how to clean them without breaking a
wire off in them. They are smaller than the wire tie wire you used in
other places. It they are clogged I very much doubt you will see fuel.

You never even stated that you looked or tried to clean them, based on
my suggestion. Your bat, your ball. People are trying to help you.

Did you ever consider that the push bulb has weakened? They do become
weak and may not prime or push the fuel. Did you follow what Trader
said about disconnecting the fuel line to see it the bulb will pump
fuel?

People here can only offer help. Nobody expects you to take advice
for the free offering. So don't have a break down over this. You could
pop a vessel.

No problem, Owen. For now, I think I'm just going to await the arrival
of the new air filter assembly, install it, and see what happens. The
good news is that, no matter what, I can still give the carb a shot of
gas or carb cleaner, start up and do the lawn on a single tank, so I
think I need to consider this lack of prime a minor issue.

I will try what Trader suggested I think early next week before arrival
of the assembly just to try and get some confirmations.
