Pull the bulb and retaing ring any way you can. don't try ti save them. you get a new retaing ring with the bulb. put the new bulb in then work the retaing ring in with a screw driver,clean everything behind the bulb before you put the new on in.

Use a flat screwdriver and pry the old bulb off. Take that with you to the parts store and get one to replace it. Clean the area where the new primer bulb will be. Simply press new primer bulb and retainer ring back in.

Fuel leaks out of the primer bulb has a nipple with small hole. fuel coming out of the nipple hole. No breaks or tears in the bulb.

ethanol additive in gasoline causes deterioration of fuel system parts, especially primer bulbs. Needs to be replaced...relatively easy for mechanically minded or bring to dealer. Check Amazon for parts...they are cheaper than most dealerships.

Hope this helps....

4 lawn mowers same problem wont start until I prime the by hand. Briggs Stratton 917.387500/ 12AV566n01124987/20043/SDSP2245D Will the same primer bulb fit the above mowers.

If its identical it should work ,if not take the old one to a mower shop,to get correct one and make sure the choke is going right on when the cable is in choke position.

Have a self-starting, self propelled toro lawn mower about 5 years old, I ran it out of gas by accident & now it won't start

It seems to be an obstruction in your fuel delivery system. Get a can of ether and a spray a short burst of it into the breather area near the carburetor, if the mower starts up and then stalls out, then you may need to get your carburetor serviced.

Otmail.com Buble thing at carburator has stuck in and will not come back out any advice

I believe that your question is in reference to the primer button on your carburator. If this is so and your button is pushed in then you will have to change the button. Take a pair of needlenose pliers and pull out the damaged primer bulb. Then go in with a pick tool and pull out the ring that is seated in the carburator at the bottom of the primer bulb. With the old primer bulb out of the carburator you can now install the new primer bulb. Put new primer bulb into place and with a dull punch slowly and very carefully seat the new primer bulb. This should put you back in business again. GOOD LUCK.

My briggs and stratton 158cc 500series push mower primer button melted from sun. how do i replace it?

There is a tab on either side of the carburetor right where the primer bulb sits. You can depress both of these tabs with a screwdriver and pry out the plastic ring that holds the primer bulb in place. You can purchase a new primer bulb (with a new plastic tab) from a local mower shop or from a small engine repair shop. When you install the new primer bulb, put the rubber bulb in first then put the plastic ring on top and press it in until the tabs click on each side. It should work correctly after the tabs are clicked properly. You can take off the air filter and look into the carburetor to see if the unit is priming correctly. I hope this helps you out.

Need diagram/instructions on how to replace primer bulb on briggs and stratton push lawn mower My primer bulb has busted so I'm trying to replace. Don't know how to get the old one out and replace.

Unless they have changed, all you have to do is unscrew the old primer bulb and screw the new one on in it's place. The primer is composed of the rubber bulb with a metal or plastic ring with threads on it where it connects in the fuel system.
