Load of bollix Dave all this running in lark,you don't have to run these engines in.I never have and had no problems with them whatsoever.
I have a few vids on yootoob and you can see what they go like.

Really poop now u say that I'm gonna have it c wot it goes like..... I'm just fine ing it hard to start the car coz no choke 990 carb has any1 got any tips on starting wiv that carb??? Think it may need new spark plug too
 
That's a sign of low speed jet being set to lean turn it out or use prime bulb to flood it just before starting some people put plastic bag around air filter to choke it . Hope that helps

I have only ever primed one 6-7 times and it fires.You could try covering the air filter with a trow away cup so it sucks fuel in and then give it a few tugs.If its not firing straight away there is an issue with air leaks,plug,carb setting.
Tell us how you get on.

got the same carb on my 29cc oddie lump and had exactly the same trouble starting mine was taking the filter off and choking it with my thump that was until mike1970 gave me some advice on how I should be starting it and I must admit since then its been so simple

first prime it 3-4 pumps on carb bubble then hold it on full throttle and pull it over a few times once it fires give it no throttle and pull it again should start up

now this is where I went wrong with the carb setting forget everything about stock settings they didn't work for me,,the low screw on mine is set under just 1 turn and the high is about 1 1/4 I think but to be honest that one don't really matter to get it running as thats for anything over 1/3 or 1/2 throttle the low does all the work upto then mine will not start any richer than the 1 turn on the low and I was worried about it being to lean but the high needle takes over once its up to 1/3 or 1/2 throttle as long as this ones not to lean you should be ok ive not touched either needle since then and its spot on once warmed up

Hey Dave,I have a box filter with an inbuilt choke if your interested.They are the standard on the older models I think? but they worked great for me when I de-choked my carbs.

Here it is with choke visible.I have used these an a few occasions and are spot on plus the engine breathes the way it should.Tell me what you think?
J;)
