Default Hard starting Briggs & Stratton 3.0 hp lawnmower engine

There are lots of parts for the pulsa jets on ebay.

Your problem is the cold starting mechanism and that is what you should be
looking at. What does your carb have? Does it have a primer bulb or a choke? If
it has a choke what kind of choke?

If you know enough to know it is a pulsa-jet then you ought to also know
the choke is vacuum operated. Of course that doesn't make a bit of
difference to his problem. He needs to replace the diaphragm and likely
clean the screens on the fuel pickup tubes. The diaphragm is both the
fuel pump and operates the choke.
