Thanks to those for all the help. I took the carbs apart again and found small bits of the fuel pump check valve in the lower carb. I removed the starter to get to the hose going from the fuel pump to the engine block there was a wear spot on it where the starter is pressed against it. When I removed the hose I could see a tear on the inside. I cut the bad part off and reinstalled it. I also changed all the zip ties with metal hose clamps. Not really sure just one thing are all three issues was my problem but the engine is running as good as it did when I bought it in 1995!
Thanks again!
Now I need to go through my 30 hp Johnson
