Mower runs for a couple of seconds after starting, then stops

I would be looking at the float level in the carb as IL stated, not the primer. I suggest you remove the carb again and clean it one more time. Replace the float needle and seat and make sure that when you set the float level make sure that it is not higher on the side opposite the float pin, but either level or slightly lower. Primer has nothing to do with it.
I never said the primer was the issue
 
You were implying that there may be a problem with the priming circuit, because you don’t know how the different circuits of a carb work. Didn’t want the OP to waste time in that area.
