Was going to take this lawnmower to the recycle bin...
After replacing the magneto and getting a carburetor gasket kit, this lawnmower refused to start. The only thing left was the primer bulb, what a thing to overlook! After replacement, the mower started with almost no effort, and ran perfectly afterward. Many thanks!

Removed the air cleaner housing which held the primer bulb using a 10mm socket. Used a screw driver to release the retainer clip from the breather housing which held in the primer bulb. pulled out the bulb and clip. Inspected the clip for chips and cracks to see if it needed replacement, it was in good condition. I then cleaned out the oriface for the bulb and lightly lubed it with a touch of oil. Pushed the primer bulb in place followed by the retainer clip. Put the air breather back on with the new carb gasket, carb side, new paper filter and then the prefilter. Tested the new primer bulb and the engine started on the second try. a clear success.
It was very simple and straight forward.
