Fresh 2.7, doesn't want to wake up Options

[930cabman]

My /6 conversion is going on 3 years as it seems as many do. I had a local old school reputable shop build the stock 2.7, case was done at Ollies, .... should be a great engine. Finally trying to get her barking, but just won't take hold. While cranking she wants to start, but when I release the starter, she conks out. We have a spark (not real significant), timing is close, carbs appear ok.

Is it possible the valves or maybe rings are not sealing because the engine sat for about 2 years?

Something is missing or not in the right order. Go back and re verify your assumptions.

Use starting fluid if necessary. Carbs may not be working on idle jets.
Spark should be strong. Verify battery, coil, and timing


Now for the potentially bad news - verify compression. Leak down if necessary. Not sure who assembled but very easy to screw up cam timing on a 911 engine.
