Now that it is all hooked up it wont run. I can get it to catch for a bit, (maybe 5 sec) and then it is at a pretty high rpm and it just dies. I am lost, I have good spark, fuel, what am I missing. It ran before the swap but I was having a few issues with the rochesters.
The set up is on a 235 with fenton intake and exhaust.

Brian,
What type of choke set up do you have?

I feel like it shouldn't take much to start but it still has me puzzled.

Looks like I get to go for a ride today after all
