this mower was running great. It started to miss then quit. I pumped the primer bulb and it ran for a few seconds then quit. I repeated that process a couple of times and decided it was not getting fuel delivery. I replaced the carburator. The mower started immediately ran for a few seconds and died now it doesn't fire. any ideas?

You probably need the Tecumseh 730637A bowl kit

Does your mower have a hole in the gas cap? If so make sure the hole is unclogged.

You replaced the carb with what? A new one, with a new jet? Did you have good fuel flow to the new carb?
