When I try to start it acts like battery is drained. If I pump gas a couple of times will start and run fine. Tested battery and it is good.

Good afternoon.
Pumping the gas does nothing like it did with the old carburetors.
if you have to push on the accelerator, it may be the idle air control.
also, I would check the fuel pressure to be sure the pump is working and check for spark.
