Can't start my 7 after carb rebuild. Plz help!

Hi clubmembers,
I just did a rebuild on my Nikki but now I cant start m y car!!! So I guess the question would be what are the most common problems with rebuild that would cause this? And if anyone is in columbus, oh can you come take a look? I cant pay anyone but I can offer food/ drink/ tobacco. Plz help this is an emergency!

Well, start by checking your float level in the front and back of the carb. The gas level should be at least 1/16" below half the glass. Also, in most situations flooding is the issue with installing a fresh carb that is rebuilt. Pull your plugs to see if they are saturated with gas. If so, pull the fuse for your fuel pump and with the plugs removed turn over the engine to blow out all of the gas. Make sure you unplug your power from both coils before you flush the engine. Just make sure your sight glass gas levels are correct.
