Clean carburetor on Bolens Lawn Mower

I have a Bolens 21” mower Below is a picture of a label that looks like someone put it on that repaired the mower before I inherited it. It just quit running when I was mowing the grass and I am trying to clean the carburetor. I turned on four videos of Bolens plastic carbs and they look different than mine. What kind do I have? Is there a good video to follow for mine? The gasket stuck to the plastic a bit and tore it also. Any suggestions would be appreciated

That is a Briggs pulsa-prime carb. From the paint looks original to the mower. Not much to repair on those. Make sure the inlet screen is clean which is the mushroom shaped tube and also remove the larger shorter screen by sliding it off so you can access to clean the jet underneath. Not much to cleaning other than that. Just make sure you get the diaphragm and gasket back in the correct order with the diaphragm contacting the tank and the gasket on the carb side.

Label looks original to the mower.. Is the mower self propelled, because if not self propel then the model number you listed is incorrect in your second post.
