    Sounds like a check valve that's sticking and is unrelated to the carb change.

    I've had that happen usually after it sat all winter a couple times... the check valve is on the oil pump.

    I have to dig out my service manual. Mine always corrected itself pretty quick usually after the second or third restart. And as long as it didn't sit too many months it didn't do it again.
