Hey all, I have a 4.5hp Tecumseh on a Lawn Boy Silver series. Have been battling the carb for a little while - one of the issues it had was a defective primer. I replaced the primer with a kit from Amazon (which came with a few doo-dads that I'm *pretty sure* my carb didn't have) and it never really worked. So this year I decided I was going to sell either this one or another push mower I have.. Either way it needs fixed, so I bought an $18 carb from Amazon and installed it. Well... The primer doesn't work. Shoot something flammable in there and the engine fires up and runs great.. I got nosey and pulled the clip and bulb off it looks like my old carb - no check valve of any kind.. Is that normal?
Am I missing something or am I just a defective operator??
