ok, finished putting motor in last night and it turns over, but does not start...before I dropped the motor, every time I started it, there would be a clicking/buzzing/hum (lol) noise which I believe was the fuel pump. Now when key is in ignition I do not have that noise, fuel pump is hooked up, and the starter turns over the motor freely, but no go. I have a quarter tank of premium only week old. Do I need a full tank of petrol? Also I replaced the fuel line up to the firewall, would it not start because I didnt prime the line? Keep in mind I have pumped the gas a thousand times though. What gives, anyone?

ps: vehicle is carbed
