Mine is diff than yours (606.962) but I think the fuel filter is the same.

I dont have a stop lever but do have a bolt on top of the fuel filter which I think you are calling a stop.

Some folks tighten that bolt up too much. I spin the filter on and then just snug it up a bit wusing the bolt to make certain it is sealed.

I think you should check yours again and make sure that it is sealed.

To prime you manually crank for 30-40 seconds at a time. After 3 cycles you let the starter cool for a few minutes.

Once it catches KEEP cranking for another second to two to be CERTAIN it caught otherwise you will start all over again.

If still wont start then look for other fuel leaks.
