What to try now?? No start unless primed. and no idle
I just removed the rats nest on my 85 gsl and was looking forward to driving the car some. Well, now it won't start unless I prime the carb and then it runs great. It also won't idle at all. The carb is a stripped down Nikki and float levels look great. What in the world did I miss? All vac ports are plugs or used, but wouldn't it have to be a vac leak? Just not getting fuel to start up....HELP! I am way bummed on this beautiful day. When it goes dead I can hear a sucking sound coming from carb...is that something odd? Guess it's hard being a newbie huh?

I did hook back up the distributor. The block? Please explain that one. I capped off a line that maybe goes to block on passenger side near cat lines. It just seems like it isn't getting fuel on the low end. Above 1500 it runs like a kitten. Gotta be something simple...I HOPE LOL. Please help me with the block vent. THANK YOU!!!

If you removed and installed a block off plate for the #2 anti-afterburn valve, did you remember to block the large port on the rear of the intake manifold?
