You either have a bad bulb or a bad fuel line between the bulb base and the gas tank. If there is the slightest hole or crack in the bulb it will not work. They are easy to replace.

Most common cause of surging is a dirty/clogged air filter.


Why won't fuel primer work on briggs and stratton lawn mower engine?

Check the gasket between the air filter backing plate and the carburetor. Usually if that is sucking air then the primer won't work. Your best bet would be to just replace the gasket and possibly the primer bulb as well

Why won't my Briggs and Stratton 4.5 HP lawn mower engine prime I have removed and cleaned the carb. The primer worked properly before disassembly. Now the bulb won't shoot fuel into the carb.?

The primer bulb probably needs to be replaced unless either one of the fuel hoses leading in and out of the primer bulb bracket is clogged. Be sure you mark how each fuel line goes before you remove the bulb so you can replace them correctly. Hmmm. Thinking more about it: If the primer worked properly before disassembly, chances are you crossed up the fuel lines when re-installing. Try switching them.

Where is the choke on a craftsman lawn mower?

depends on the engine Briggs or tech, does it have a primer bulb. but safe bet right next to the carb.


Why won't my Briggs 6.75 not prime?

no gas, bad or disconnected gas line or cracked bulb. Possibly something small blocking the hole inside behind the primer bulb.


What controls the Choke on Briggs and stratton 4.5?

There are several systems used by Briggs for choke control. Auto choke engines are equipped with a heat sensitive bi-metal coil attached to the exhaust. When cold, the coil closes the choke plate. When heated by exhaust gases, it opens the plate. Most other models have a manual lever to open and close the choke or a primer bulb system.


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.
