What would cause a 4 stroke mower engine to start with a spray of starter fluid but continues to run on its own. My mom somehow rebuilt the carb on this thing and says the primer bulb also doesn't have any pressure to it (makes sense, no fuel pressure, no starting). I'm in a different state but heading over there at some point in June, what could cause the primer bulb to not have pressure?

Hoses are routed wrong. There's like three hoses for primer bulbs, so there are six possible ways to have them connected to the other things in the fuel system. Some are obviously wrong (gas tank back to itself) but the others aren't. Verify the new primer bulb inputs and outputs.

If I can get it to turn over I'll jack it up and weld together a stand in place (it's currently strapped to a HF furniture dolly) and then... Try to start it? Is it worth getting a $7 fluid transfer thing?

Why not, like, actual penetrating oil?

Also, if you have to ask "is ruining this engine not spending $7" you already know the answer.
