How can I fix my 6.5 briggs and straton?

What can be wrong when all the gas will run out the little hole in the primer? I have replaced the air filter. I have checked all the jets to make sure they are not stopped up. I,m at a loss.

In the Briggs engines that have the hole in the primer bulb, pressing the bulb puts air pressure into the float bowl forcing gas into the carb throut. Gas leaking out of the bulb could mean a leaking gasket or o-ring where the carb mounts to the engine or air cleaner.

Sounds like primer diafram is bad ......
