Toro Super Recycler carburetor issue

[Givey1982]

I need a new carburetor for my 2006 Toro SR. My issue is that my SR (6.75hp B&S) has an oval air filter on the right side of the motor. None of the carbs I have bought (used part number from book) have a primer hole that lines up with the air filter adapter which is where the primer bulb is located.

Has anyone else seen this? Any options? The mower will run is I use starter fluid but it won’t prime and start

Here is the adapter on the mower

Givey, I have a MD 20016 offered 2002 to 2006, it has a LV195EA 6.5 Tecumseh, 20017 2002-2006 and 20018 2002 to 03 also had Tecumseh engines, the carb on my machine has primer bulb. Two press and it always lights on the first pull. I recently obtained a 20331, it has the B&S 190cc 6.75 no choke/no prime carb. A replacement carb was a whole $15 and it runs like a new machine.

With this said, there is a wealth of info on the web for these machines, just find the model# (under the discharge flap on many) and it should be easy to find a replacement carb. Ray
