Engine initially starts fine, but will not stay running without the consistent priming of the starter switch. This motor did run fine until sitting all winter. I have thoughts that it could be a problem where the oil and gas mix, keeping the gas from flowing into the carborator. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

Sounds like a fuel delivery problem. Try squeezing the primer bulb and see if it will stay running. Best bet is if you have keep choking it, it is time to overhaul carbs maybe.
