I would guess that it has a rubber type of diaphragm that is used to pump fuel into the pistons old style fuel pumps were moved by the engine which pumped fuel to the carb then the carb dumped it into the cylenders today this is done through electronic pumps usually housed in the fuel tank to electronic fuel injecting carbs that controle the amount of fuel to each cylender

Why does my Briggs and Stratton 3.5 HP lawn mower engine run for 2-3 seconds and then quit It starts again when primed but will continue to stop?

Sounds like that diaphragm between the tank and carburetor to me...pull tank/carb assembly from the mower, then remove the carburetor from the tank. whats in-between is the gasket/diaphragm(be sure to remove all the old material before installing the new one) that pumps the fuel up to the carburetor and into the engine. The diaphragm only cost like 2 bucks and you can change it in like 5-10 mins. Dont waste the money on taking it to a shop, as long as you have the tools to do it....
