I've got a Murray M22450 mower that I've had a few years. It does fine however this year I noticed that the priming "button" that is made out of pliable plastic (?) was not resetting itself - meaning after I pushed in on the "button" it would not come back out. I've resorted this last time to removing the filter housing and pouring a small amount of gas in the choke area which did allow the mower to start but I don't want to have to do this each time. Is there a replacement "button" that I can buy (presuming replacement isn't too difficult)?

Primer button is not at fault...unless it is actually broken (cracked).
Check for debris around pick-up tube. Make sure tank is pristine before re-assembly or tube will clog again.

However, the part number for bulb is 694394.
