| The Plastic carburetor on Classic B&S, Horror Horror
I noticed many complaints on lawnmowers with classic engines not starting; the main problem is the primer build is not squirting fuel in the engine. Any quick fixes? |

| If the primer bulb doesn't work, chances are, it's the diaphragm on the tank worn out. With modern gas, these diaphragms don't seem to last long. Change it and you're good to go. |

| Thanks I will give that a try. I also noticed there are a lot of after market diaphrams I will make sure to replace with OEM |
