Choke sounds like its doing its job, just sounds like the fuel delivery is having issues getting to the carb.

Smitty
fuel pump is about 15 yrs old, at least...put new one on there at least that long ago...
also, bought this Quad 3 or 4 months ago from Auto Supply... [remanufactured/rebuilt]...
just cranked truck this morning, pumped gas pedal 4 or 5 times, and it fired right up...
could accelerator pump be worn out, and still look new...
took it out a couple weeks ago and it looked good...

just took fuel line to carb loose...turned motor over...shot stream of gas out hose the size of hose's inside diamater [1/4"]...I'd say fuel pump is ok...?
