I've just been pushing the primer
every few seconds after starting untill it warms up enough to run

It really shouldn't be necessary to do this.

Given this engine needs intake, compression, power and exhaust.

Think air and fuel - without a primer bulb....

Pushing the primer bulb after the engine starts; to keep it running
tells the carb needs attention... cleaned/rebuilt.


Which is kind of what I meant when I said " I'll also try this and
maybe other fixes suggested here and see what happens."

I knew it had a problem. I was just saying that the suggestions would
be useful in solving it.
