Pump the pedal once, fires right up and dies as soon as the choke pops open. Usually 3rd or 4th try it will keep running.
I took the plate off the choke pull-off and adjusted the screw so the choke doesn't open as far anymore. It will now start and run on the first try!
@crankitandfloodit My wife was nice enough to come out and help me illustrate what the symptoms are when the choke pull-off is set incorrectly. You can see in the video that as soon as the engine fires, the choke plates open up and it quits. With the choke pull-off set correctly the choke plates don't open that far and it will start and run on the first try now.
