I checked all the items noted above and after I successfully bribed my better half to crank the engine while I had the fuel line from the carb in a clear jar, the low fuel volume and lack of consistent flow, convinced me the mechanical pump was bad. I swapped the pump out and it fixed the issue.

Just FYI. Good luck.

Thanks. Looks like I will have to order one. I can only find "universal" mechanical pumps locally. I never like the term "universal".
