Re: rebuilt the carb, gettin no gas

You should have a mechanical pump on an '83, which means the only time it's pumping fuel is when the engine is running. Turning the ignition on will not initiate fuel flow, and pushing the gas pedal will do nothing if the bowls are dry. You need to pour a little gas down the primaries and fire it a few times to get the motor running long enough to allow the bowls in the carb to fill up.
