how do you replace carb primmer ball on lawn mower?

tring to replace primmer ball on my briggs& stratton lawn mower

Most of the briggs and strattons have a primer ball that simply has a pl;astic clip in spreader built onto the bulb that simply snap in place..take the old bulb out..doesnt matter if you tear the bulb on the old one..and you will see this plastic clip that you simply squeeze with pliars and they pop right out..some may have a simple metal retainer ring that again you squeeze with pliars and they pop right out..the new one pops right in..here is a picture of the bulb kits..At the bottom here it shows the 2 type bulbs..notice the simple plastic clips they come with...Make sure that the bulb you have is the one with or without the hole in the end..

Replacement handle for an old reel mower?

I have the mower part. Would it work o.k. if I had it sharpened? I also need a handle. Any ideas about how to get a handle. Can I use one from a regular push mower?

don't know if it had a wood handle or metal.
my dad used to have one and his had a wood handle
and yes it can be sharpened.
any type handle would work as long as you can make it fit
