The pulse for the carb pump comes from the crankcase before the reed block so the more I think about this, it sounds like an air leak between crankcase Nd carb somewhere.
Thanks Speedracer, that's what I'm starting to think too is an air leak somewhere also. The engine has tons of compression, so I don't feel like it's a ring issue.
