Well had the running today. However not by itself. I appear to have a lot of pressure on the air plate. When i try to lift it with the car in the on position to get the fuel pump to start, the pressure seems to build and then it becomaes very hard to raise. Only way i was able to get it running was to manually raise and let go the air plate while someone else was starting the car. It would catch and then i had to continue to raise the plate with my finger to get it to run. Didnt hold it up, just lifted it slightly and let it go and then kep repeating thatcontinuously to keep it running. Either i am low on vaccuum or fuel pressure is so high it is somehow affecting the plunger preventing the plate from lifting on its own. It did run a couple of times by itself for a few seconds or so, when i had relived the pressure in the fuel system for one reason or another. Am getting very close. I have spark, I have fuel. Now must determine what is causing it to be so hard to lift. When it runs it sounds good and no backfires...so thats a good sign...Any thoughts and posibble causes? Thanks...
