How do you replace prime bulb on a Briggs stratton engine?

Very difficult without proper removal and installation tools provided by Briggs and Stratton. The old one can be removed with needle nosed pliers, by gripping as much of the bulb as possible and rocking it back and forth until it pops free. If the bulb tears out, be sure to remove the snap ring holding the base. Be more careful when installing the new one, as it can be torn easily. Put the new bulb in, and snap in the new retaining ring using two small flathead screwdrivers.
