I just put my 292 back together bored 30 over with all new bearings. The carb is also rebuilt. When I go to start it with the choke closed it really has trouble overcoming the compression. When I open the choke it cranks easier. When I rebuilt the carb I put all the jets and float needle valve at the same spot. However when I first tried to start it fuel was coming out the vent tube so I adjusted the float needle valve one turn down. It will eventually start but it has to crank a long time before
It finally starts. I have to hold
The gas pedal down. It will try to catch but does not always catch. Even after it has run for a while
It still does not start up easy. I have checked and properly gaped the points to 15 thousands. I am
Getting good spark so I am
Pretty sure it is fuel
Related. Any thoughts or idea as to where to start? I am
young so I have not dealt with carbs much at all. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
