Did you prime the engine when it was still on the stand before you bolted the tin on?

Years back I filed a small vertical slot in the bottom most machine surface. The slot runs from just above the dist gear to the groove between the two machines surfaces. Cant remember why I did it??? I never had any pressure problems in the dirt motors, but being stick cars they never idle below 1k anyway. The slot I filed is very small and not very deep. I wouldnt think it would be the cause of this issue?
Motor was primed on the stand, but tin was already on.
