Found the problem.
A brief discussion with Ken lead to a solution. There was a bit of air in the fuel line upstream (between the fuel pump and gas tank). I attached a portable marine jerry can hose - with inline squeeze bulb - to the fuel pump and squeezed the bulb filling the sediment bowl and pump completely. The fuel pump baler took only a stroke until it couldn't move any further. The motor cranked immediately. I reattached the fuel line coming from the tank and this solved the fuel pump issue.
