Had one about 20 years ago, and it was old when I got it, so it must have been one of the first with the pump bulb on the carb instead of a choke.
I discovered the same starting method you used, turn it on it's side for about 10 seconds, pump the bulb about 30-40 times, it would start first pull! LOL
I never could get it to do any better, but never really tried too hard, hated that rock slinging thing!
If yours is the pump bulb, what it does is poof air inside the carb and makes gas come up the emulsion tube. You should be able to see a small amount of gas bubble up out of the tube when looking inside the carb throat.

Don't be afraid of the bowl gasket, especially if the carb is only a year old, you can probably get it back on ok. It's not that critical.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
