You likely have an air leak that is giving a weak impulse, or, your choke is NOT closing properly. The carb should prime in a few (say 3-4) pulls and the air will pass though, so long as the chokes closed...

I agree - you have a leak. I just finished rebuilding an 031 from a pile of parts (obviously no fuel in the system), and it "primed" and started in 4-5 pulls with the choke on. I'd replace the impulse hose and fuel lines. They are pretty cheap.
