Need more info (at least I do) for the not starting issue.
If you got it to run, just pull your accelerator cable until you hear it effect idle - then back off just enough to get it idling normal. Then tighten both nuts on the cable.

some mmo... or atf down the carb....... spoon full in each of the smaller barrels....... if it wont start with that...... push start that ****
Do a complete maintainance on it..... like fuel filter, air filter, plugs, wires, cap, button, and oil change............

Do not use ATF if you still have cat converters on your car, it might be okay a couple times, but it will clog and destroy the cat. Use Marvel Mystery Oil(MMO) instead, works great, doesn't clog cats and makes just as big of a smoke cloud when you start it up

he is right..... im running open header on my 80 so it doesnt matter.....
but atf is automatic trasmission fluid...... it fouls the plugs and kills the cats after about 5 times of doing it hardcore............... should work once.....
