I figured it out, and I am embarrassed to say what I found. I took the top off of the carb and it did have fuel in it. I got my son the crank the engine while I manually operated the accelerator and used my hand as the choke butterfly. It started right up and ran until I took my hand off. I started looking around, here comes the embarrassing part, two vacuum lines unplugged and sucking all kinds of air. I plugged them up and reinstalled the top and now it starts and runs pretty good. I have a leaky choke pull off to replace, and a little fine-tuning and I think (with God's help) I should be ok. I should have caught this, I am sorry I wasted your guy’s time. Thanks for your inputs.
