Unscrewed carburetor from gas tank, replaced gaskets, spring, diaphragms with the new parts included and put the carburetor on the tank and the completed until back on the engine. A few pumps of the primer build to see if fuel was reaching the carburetor, replaced the foam filter and one pull of the recoil starter and it ran perfectly right out of the box. Be sure the diaphragm does not tear by over tightening the screws that mount the carburetor to the tank. I found the diaphragm was torn on the old carburetor when I removed it.

For air filter unscrew lid of housing and remove old filter. Put in new filter and replace lid. replace screw and tighten.
To remove old primer bulb use pliers that have tips bent in. Put bent in tips in bulb housing cuts (vertical) that show white on the housing closer to the carburetor and squeeze in with gentle pulling pressure. The bulb and retainer (white nylon) should be able to be worked out of the housing. Put the new retainer on the new bulb and push into the housing using a flat screwdriver making sure the flaps on the retainer line up with the cuts in the housing. Rotate the screwdriver around the retainer gently pushing each time until the retainer flaps engage the housing cuts.

Remove old primer bulb, clean area with rag and WD40 and you will be able too see the old retainer. Remove old retainer by using a flat head screw driver in the outside holes. Insert towards the back of the hole and pry old retainer out. Insert new bulb and new retainer.
