Update: First start of the day, I pulled the air cleaner cover and looked down inside and gave the throttle a couple of blips. Sure enough, it's squirting fuel. However, the choke plate didn't close. When I manually closed it, the truck started right up without priming. So, looks like I'll be checking the choke adjustment and/or replacing the bi-metallic spring.

thanks for all the suggestions.
