Start or just a bit higher should do … on the throttle
plug wires… FRONT coil goes to the top plug … confirm !
if you spin the FW with a drill can you you feel the air sucked in the carb face …?
did you clean out & blow the idle circuit passages : side passage to the top,… place gasket #47 in line with side channel …. clean out the idle drip holes under plug #27
needle 35 “openned out” enough per book to let fuel reach the top drip chamber under plug 27 and be sucked inside the engine
to confirm fuel properly fills the carb… remove needle#60 pump the bulb and fuel should spill out… in a rag placed under the carb pump the bulb for more fuel . replace and adjust needle
