Default Why do mowers have primer bulbs?

OK the primer bulb is there for emission control

But, what does it excatly do to curb emissions?

Im the case of my 85 Sears it's only purpose seems to be to make my finger
sore from pumping it!

And yes, it does take more then 3 pushes to get it going

And again. Why does Honda's have no primer bulb. but, do have a choke?



My primer on my Craftsman I bought at Sears last year CHEAP--$160 for 6
hp works in three pushes. Haven't tried less. Works like a dream.
LOVE MY MOWER. Last year it tackled 3 acres by hand -- this year it's
wiping out 1/2 acre at my new house without breaking a sweat. Ok, I'M
not breaking a sweat.
