Such a generalisation would do nothing to help someone with "no idea" infact I would suggest it would only add confusion and possibly add an element of unnecessary danger in certain circumstances.
....and yes- very rarely do we get a thank you.

To pleasant,
my answer to ray's problem is a simple answer that covers most small engines and it gives them a idea what to look for to those who do not know what they are doing, and we do this to help them, without any payment, and most time without a thankyou.

Tony is completely incorrect. This model engine doesn't have a pipe between the tank and carb. LOL.

Have a look at the pipe from carb to fuel tank take it off and with a foot pump or air line pump air into pipe to tank, if you have fuel from tank then take the carb off and clean it, seems to be something stopping the fuel, thats why the rubber bulb not returning.and if the rubber bulb is old, then fit a new one.
