Am I missing something? Primer bulbs

#1

I have a Weed Eater riding mower with a TECUMSEH 13.5 hp OHV 120 engine. I do not see a primer bulb anywhere on this mower. Are primer bulbs not needed on some mowers?

-Noob:confused2:

The primer bulbs are usually used on the smaller HP engines (push mower, snow blowers, etc.). When they get into the riding mower style Horsepower engines there is usually a choke plate installed in the carb.

That choke is either operated by hitting the upper section of the throttle cable, or pulling a separate cable, or it is an automatic operated.
