Ok I have had this carb for a couple years. Its a 1405 manual choke 600cfm. Anyways I wanted to install electric choke for this winter. Well everything ran fine before, I removed carb and installed edelbrock's electric choke kit and didnt have any spare parts leftover and everything went pretty smooth. So I get it all hooked back up and turn it over for a bit to get fuel back in the carb and it isnt starting. So I double check the fuel and see it spraying down in there and still, nothing. So I held the butterfly open and closed and cant get it to start at all? What could be causing this? Help please!!! Thanks.

If you got fuel , check for spark. Back to basics

check distrib to see if the wires are still hooked up

I'd say hei wire pulled out. At least that is what happened when I did it

. Might also check to make sure your big vaccum line in the back are plugged. May have bumped the dizzy a little out of time, or coil connection came off.
