I've seen engines, where the gasket between the carb and the engine leaks
air. Usually, this means won't start, needs ether or gas poured into the air
intake to start. Not starts on one pull.

Sometimes, water in the gasoline will make engine stall, but restarts on one
pull. I'd want to pour out the gasoline into a glass jar, and see if water
settles out.

The engine wants the choke on, indicating too lean a mixture.
