A gas primer bulb on a Lawn Boy lawnmower engine works by creating a vacuum that draws fuel from the tank into the carburetor, ensuring that the engine has the necessary fuel to start. When the bulb is pressed, it forces air out and pulls in a small amount of fuel, priming the system. Once released, the bulb refills with fuel, and this process helps eliminate air in the fuel lines, facilitating easier starts, especially after the mower has been sitting for a while. This simple mechanism enhances the reliability of the engine's ignition process.

The primer on a lawnmower is a small bulb that helps to draw fuel into the carburetor, making it easier to start the engine. By pressing the primer, you inject a small amount of fuel into the engine, which provides the necessary mixture for ignition. This is especially useful for cold starts or when the mower has been sitting for a while. Essentially, it helps to ensure a quick and reliable start-up.
Don't know that a leaking primer bulb can be repaired. Most likely, you have to replace it. You don't want to forget the routing of the fuel lines!! You might want to make a drawing of the routing before you remove the primer bulb.
The carb connection on a primer bulb is typically located on the side of the bulb that connects to the carburetor's fuel intake. When the primer bulb is squeezed, it pushes fuel from the tank into the carburetor, helping to prime the engine for easier starting. The bulb usually has two connections: one for the fuel line from the tank and one that leads to the carburetor. Make sure to refer to your specific engine's manual for precise locations and configurations.

There does not appear to be a primer bulb on the Stihl BR400 that I can see in the exploded parts.
Primer bulbs on small engines take the place of a choke on the carb . If your carb has a choke on it then you could probably bypass it . The object of the primer and the choke is to give the engine a extra charge of gas to help it start when the engine is cold . If you take this away then the engine will be hard starting if it starts at all .

Go to your local Small Engine Repair shop and ask for a gas cap with the primer pump on cap. They work great!
