240z won't start
#26
Thanks for the input, I didn't know about bench bleeding - will be sure to do that!
I have put new points, condenser, distributor cap, rotor, and plugs in the car (points and plugs are gapped). Had it running! It takes a few seconds to get it going and I have to play with the choke to keep it running. Once it starts to warm up it seems to run fine but still needs some choke. I have done a compression test, fuel is pumping, and there is fresh gas.
Prior to this car, I did a lot of work on snowmobiles etc. The problem is, I don't know a lot about this style of carburetor. It doesn't make sense to me. So I just cleaned them and put them back together the same way. I figure this is a carb problem but I don't know where to go from here.

Congrats on getting it running BTW! That's a big accomplishment.
