Briggs and Stratton priming bulb.

It will not prime the carb. If i drop some fuel in the top of the carb she fire's up and run's perfectly. If the bulb was split would i not see fuel escaping? Could it be the carb blocked?

it only takes a pinhole, you could try taking the carb off and cleaning it using a carburettor cleaning spray, just note how many turns it takes to fully close the adjustment jets before you take them out. then when you put them back wind them in and unwind them to where they were.
