QJet expertise needed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I swapped on a qjet that has been sitting for awhile since my last one went south on me. Before the truck always started right away.

However, when I try to start the truck now I have to pump and pump on the gas and try to start it numerous times before it gets enough fuel in the "bowl" and turns all the way over. I have never messed with carbs too much so I am at a loss of what I can adjust. Can anyone give me a quick checklist to work down.

Once it is started it runs pretty smoothly. I adjusted the two screws on front until it idles fine.

additionally, I updated to a blazer tank and a new fuel pump.

I am good with my hands I just have no experience with these carbs and I want to get it running by the North Texas Board meet.
