Starting issue...

Update

I smelled the dipstick, didn't really smell like gas...

Choke adjustment seemed fine to me.
I moved the throttle linkage and watched gas squirting in...

Same issue trying to start it though... so, with it still not wanting to start, I pumped the gas pedal 7 or 8 times and it almost started...5 more pumps and I got it to start with a big puff of unburned fuel out the exhaust. ....

Ran great after that...but restart, same issue.

Ugh...any ideas?
