The primer bulb/ button will work to prime the mower and I can start it fine. Then the primer bulb will suck into the mower flat and kill the mower. I have checked the fuel line, air cleaner and choke to be sure they are clean and working. Any more ideas?

The motor is using more fuel than being allowed to flow through the carburetor. You may check your fuel filter if you have one.
Something else you can check is the idle and run needle valve settings. If you have the needle valve open too much it will starve he motor of fuel.
The last option is how strong the primer bulb is. It may have been weakened over time because of the contact with fuel.

There must be a vent hole near the primer bulb. Otherwise, the bulb would not return to the outward position after using. Something has clogged it up. You may need to remove the bulb to find it.

The vented gas cap may be clogged and allowing a vacuum to exist in the tank and carb, drawing the primer flat.
This is something I have seen a few times.

What all the above pronounced is real. i've got been repairing those issues for over thirty years. placed the device lower back upright, drain the oil, do away with the spark plug and sparkling it (an old trick is to spray the top with ether beginning fluid), placed the mower over a 0.5 dozen circumstances, upload the oil to the crank, then spray slightly (one small squirt)beginning fluid in the engine (spark plug hollow), placed the plug lower back in, do no longer choke it or best it. Pull the cord till it starts, whether it is going to stop because of the fact the plug gets moist fouled. repeat the spraying of the top and slightly in to the spark plug hollow. that could desire to do it and it would start up frequently.
