...on that mower I had fitted a new carby which ran ok but needed a squirt of starter fluid to get it going. I had just pulled all the choke assembly and carby of a Briggs that started and ran fine but was smokey so it was pretty straight forward
Sounds like I need to change it over to choke system somehow.
Here's a Briggs I've got from the 80s with a choke system. If it were to bolt on, I'd also need to fit all the plastic covers and fuel tank from the older engine as the filter housing is longer than the primer bulb housing.
It all seems too much trouble and I certainly don't want to spend on a new carby only for the primer not to do it's job.
