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?

As I found out on my 2.7, set up the Webers on initial settings. I found them on line, set the fuel pressure at 3 psi and then adjust till it runs as you like it. We have all gotten used to fuel injected motors which magically start and run. But set up close to right, Webers work great. It just takes some futzing and a lot of patience.

I have been running Webers on several different sporting cars for many years, with success. Yes, they can be touchy, but I like the simplicity of them. When a modernish FI system is working correctly, there is probably nothing better.

I am getting different air flow numbers from my snail when comparing from venturi to venturi. Is this a sign the air adjusters need attention? I have always had these closed, but have never had a venturi to venturi difference in air flow. This is my first go with 3V carbs.
