This is a genuine OEM approved replacement part designed for use with Toro lawnmowers with Tecumseh engines. By pressing on the purge bulb, it will force fuel into the fuel line from the fuel tank into the carburetor. Once the carburetor is full of fuel, the excess fuel will be purged back into the tank in the fuel return line. At some time the primer will lose its elasticity or crack and need to be replaced. It is made out of rubber and it is sold individually.

The parts were correct and worked fine just a little upset with delivery, paid extra to get it here in two days and didnt show up up for seven days. I get the covid thing, so just say no matter how much you spend it will not get here for 7 to 10 business days. Just saying!

Air getting into gas line. I could get it started after priming, but mower wouldn\'t stay running.
Repaired as instructed. Removed retainer ring with screwdriver and used socket and hammer to insert ring and primer bulb. As a 54 y.o. woman, I figured out the problem AND fixed it myself.
Remove the old primer by pulling on it. The remove the the retaining ring. Then press the new primer back in and use a socket the same size of the retaining ring and tap it in, with the tabs facing up.

Pulled the carburetor off and rebuilt it. The idle jet was completely clogged. You\'ll need a very small diameter wire to clean it. I used a strand of copper wire. Reassembled and runs like new. Check for videos on how to do it. Very simple if you have ever turned a wrench.
