    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
