LEV120 primer

Toro GTS with LEV120. Given to me as no start. Put fuel in the tank and tried to prime it - zero action on the primer. The bulb is not cracked, etc., but it's the kind with the hole in the tip. Is this just the wrong bulb for this carb? Thanks!

Please disregard this thread, I can't delete it. Clearly the PO just grabbed a B&S bulb from Home Depot. Surprise surprise, no worky. Could replace bulb for a few bucks, but the whole carb is $15, so no brainer there.

Primer is fine. this primer pushed air into the carb bowl to increase the pressure to force fuel up the emulsion tube. If the bowl nut jet is clogged or the bowl gasket leaks it will not work.
