People are getting weaker and manufactures need to make them easier to start.
Getting weaker both MENTALLY and physically.
I've confirmed this by the way they vote.

Hopefully you all will not import their virus as well!
Weaker, lazier and more dumber... that's why Briggs and Stratton are marketing lawnmower engines that claim "never require an oil change! Just check and add!"
How many homeowners do you think could adjust a set of points, let alone a carb, let alone use a choke.
First case yesterday. Another excuse to reduce contact with meatbags to minimum.
I purchased the cheapest b&s 8 hp engine for my log splitter. I was told the aluminum cylinder wouldn’t last one season. Well thirty years later still running. Replaced the rear case gasket and piston rings when all the gaps lined up. My secret was adding the left over two stroke mix and changing the oil often. That’s splitting 50+ cords per year.
I'm surprised a B&S that old wouldn't have a cast iron liner, unless that's what you meant?
Agreed though, change the oil and don't let them overheat and those little engines run forever. My dad had an OLD Briggs 12hp on a log splitter, it was all cast iron and points, he finally had to replace it when it just wore out, at one point he rigged up an MSD ignition box and a car battery to make it run, haha.
My 7910 (my heaviest beast [emoji2958]) start right away when I didn't just flood it by leaving the switch on off (my other saws switch to on when using the choke). Without the bulb. I alway wonder how it gets that gas in 1 pull.Whenever you try to start a high compression engine with a long fuel line and no compression release valve, you wish you had one of these. Would save the time and trouble of taking off an air filter so you can squirt some fuel direct into the carb.
Luckily we are doing something about the Chinese problem here, hopefully we can get the job done before they get rid of our president.
I try to avoid primer bulbs also. I have a plastic bag full of them ready for repairs. I would hate to count the number of saws that have come into my shop with cracked, broken, or missing primer bulbs. Some engines will run without them if the carb was designed to use them but only a few.To me, it's just one more thing to go wrong. Recently my Echo backpack blower that had run great for several years of intermittent use started acting funky and not accelerating. I suspected carb trouble or air leak and I was finished until I could fix it. It turned out to be a splitting primer bulb. I was at the cabin and took the carb off. When I got home I did a US cleaning and replaced the bulb. If you use power equipment with a primer bulb, always keep a couple of correct size bulbs close. It could save your day.

...There so consumed they have to clue as to what’s going on around them.
