All of my JOHNNY-RUDES that have done this to me have been due to piston to cylinder clearance. When they get loose they won't pull air through the carbs due to blow-by and lack there of crankcase compression. But the fact you can keep it goin by hitting the primer may mean you have a pickup tube problem in your carbs.
