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

Most common cause of surging is a dirty/clogged air filter.
Briggs and Stratton does contract anyone to build mowers. The mower manufacturers contract Briggs and Stratton to build their engines (or whatever engine is on the unit). That is why you can have a Briggs and Stratton on most any type of mower. Same is true for Kohler, Tecumseh, etc. Not to say that the engine manufacturers do not build their own type of outdoor power tool but as the question states "snapper mower". Also keep in mind that if you have a snapper mower with a Briggs and Stratton engine and you need warranty work on the engine you need to go to an Authorized Briggs repair facility where as if you have a mower warranty then you need to go to an authorized repair facility for the mower manufacturer.
