720 wont start new weber carb

[bob911]

i just put on my new weber carb 32/36 and cant get it to start im 95% sure i have it hook up right i ve look at a few youtube vids to figure it out.
new timing chain (got someone else to do it for me)
the truck ran before i change the carb but would flood and die after driving it then it got to where i chouldnt start it at all so i change the carb its a 85 720

What symptoms are you currently getting? Have you tried spraying starter fluid down the carb to see of it is a fuel issue or something else? Is it cranking and just not turning over etc.?

[bob911]

It has spark and I just put new wires and plugs in its cranking just wont start.
haven't tried starter fluid going to try later today and battery was about died so I charged it last night see if that helps and shoots fuel and fire throgh carb also backfires some

So it shoots fuel and tries to kick but won't run? Were the plugs put on before or after this happened?

I am about to do the same carb swap.... kind of curious if the regular diaphram fuel pump will work? It came with a fuel pump block off kit and hoping I dont have to wire in a electric fuel pump.

klarkkentster, An electric pump may be best but its not necessary
bob911, depending on the symptoms it could be the valve timing is out, the ignition timing is out or no fuel in the carb.
