Every time I run the motor I notice the primer pump gasket is wet and the bottom of the motor housing gets a pool of gas (maybe a tablespoon after running for 20 min). That seems odd.

When I manually push the blue button gas comes out that hole. Don't know if that's normal.

Could someone explain:
  1. How the electric primer works
  2. What triggers it
  3. Does it replace a choke
  4. What the hole is for
  5. Is it normal for gas to pool up like mine is?
