TOO MUCH GAS , PLEASE STOP RUNNING THE CART NOW !!!! you will destroy it if you keep going , what has happened here is your carb is overflowing with gas and filling up the crankcase with gas thinning the oil and causing oil to burn along with gas getting past the rings , the holding of the pedal for 15 seconds is just clearing the cylinder enough with air to get it to fire but you have a dangerous situation , first check the oil you'll see its overfull , second drain the oil and start will fresh , third disconnect the fuel line to the carb and put it in a cup and check your flow yeah you have a new fuel pump but i fear your getting pressure bleed just pushing to much fuel to the carb when its not running, that combined with a weak or unseated float and your just dumping gas and washing down all the lubricating properties of the oil down into the bottom of the engine destroying the top end and rings.
