Car needs engine starter to get started. Help!

Ok so I just yanked out my old exhaust after installing a new weber carb and doing an air pump delete. That stupid thermal reactor shot smoke up into the engine because if the missing air pump. My new headers are pacesetters with no extra piping hah . They are loud as crap! Lol sounds like a race car. But my car will only start with engine starter in the carburetor. The pressure regulator says I have 4-4.5 lbs which I'm pretty sure that's what weber call for. I still have a stock pump. What do I do to get it running with out having to open the hood?

You probably need to tune the carb to make it startup right away. Sounds like its lean.
