Can anyone point out what i may have done wrong when rebuilding?

Thanks, robert howie

Sounds like you're just running a little too rich(which isn't a bad thing IMO) and your choke travel is not adjusted properly.
You should only have to pump the gas pedal once to set the choke. After that, crank away.... more pumping will only flood you out. How old is that fuel pump? The cheapie Auto Zone ones will start letting gas drain back after 2 years.
I have the same problem, and Ignore it: It idles on the second crank fine.
Double check all of your vacuum lines.
