The gas is most likely getting old. The easy way to fix it hopefully is to add some dry gas to it. Take a carb cleaner and spray it into the air intake while it's starting to run, that should help burn through any gunk too. If that doesn't work, take the gas out and replace with new gas and add stabilizer to it. If that still doesn't work, you may have to take the carbs out and clean out the innards. That is not a fun one if you haven't done it before.

If what you mean by not priming is the red primer button not priming, replace it. They are easy to find from a mower shop and hopefully doesn't costs alot. If what you mean is it doesn't primes itself after starting, replace the diaphragm pump located at the bottom of the carby and at the top of the fuel tank
Are rotary pumps self-priming and if not how do I prime it?
Some rotary pumps are self-priming when dry. These pumps have a priming chamber that automatically does the self-priming when the pump is not in use. To prime a pump yourself, the priming plug should be removed. Water should then be poured into the pump. The entire priming process should take no longer than five minutes. If it takes longer than that, it could be indicative of a mechanical problem.
Why does a Briggs and Stratton 4.5 HP lawn mower engine stop 2 3 seconds after it starts unless you continue to prime it?
it is losing its prime... i have the same problem right now and i have cleaned the carburetor, changed the gas and spark plug and changed the air filter. The only thing that i can think of is that there is something wrong with the priming bulb or the gas cap is hindering the air flow... still trying to repair....
