The fix was to replace the carb again.

Okay, I worked on this further, and figured out the primer bulb problem. I took it apart completely, cleaned it out, and made sure the little hole lined up with hole in the carb. Now I know. However, the problem now is that it runs rough. It won't stay running on its own because the choke is...
