Thanks everyone for the help and thanks for the link to the gasket Tom.
I think I tried a combination of all suggestions including soaking the pumper in trans fluid. In any case, one or more of the suggestions worked! The engine now runs without choking. I ran it up and down my street a few times (sure the neighbors were not impressed) and it did not die out, acceleration seems a little slow so I think it needs some adjustments but I am not really good at determining what to do so I will wait till I go to the track and maybe someone can help me out there. I am not one to try to get everything out of the motor, just being on the track is good enough fun for me.
Thanks again,
Michael
