Well, after a very busy weekend, I managed to get pistons and rods. swapped in, the head bolted up and the motor put back together. But now I'm having trouble with hard starting and keeping it running without the choke on.
After some research, I'll be checking compression, distributor vacuum advance line, timing, and looking at the carb. Anything else I should be looking at?
It should be noted that I don't know very much at all about carbs, I'm fairly certain I have a Holley 1904. My guess so far is that the carb needs to be cleaned, when I open the butterfly, no gas comes out from the accelerator pump. I had previously opened the carb up due to issues with fuel flow, and am wondering if it may have gotten some junk in it while sitting or if I might have messed something up. Should I just grab a rebuild kit for the 1904 and take it apart? I found the videos from Mikes Carburetor Shop so I'm fairly confident I can rebuild it.
And while I'm at it... Any tips on reinstalling the rod for the clutch slave cylinder?
