What does the primer do when the carb is on the engine?

It depends how I have the line. If I have the return line, The one that just goes into the tank connected to the top of the carburetor, when I press the bulb I don't know if it sucks air in or pushes out But basically I hear a hiss, And I could get the engine to kick here and there.
If I have the fuel line, The hose with the filter, connected to the top of the carburetor where the primer bulb is, when I press the bulb it sucks in gas, I could see gas in the bulb, But it won't kick over no matter what I do.

5 pages of posts trying to help. Who knows what you've done to that carb? Buy a new one for $10. When you get it do NOT touch any adjustment screws. Just install it correctly, including the lines. It should run.

On the intake side of the carb there is a small hole, this has to be in line with a hole on intake manifold. Did you compare new and old side by side?

OP said it spits gas when off the engine, I want to know if there was a flow when the carb is installed. Please answer questions directed to you to save confusion.

I think you sure might be a genius.

It's not necessarily that they sent you the wrong one, but that you didn't order the right one. There are so many different carb sout there that will bolt up to each other that it can be hard to find the right one
