Poorboy thanks for the info, it got me looking at the carb/choke and I discovered I did not have the themospring assembly seated correctly, so it would bind when tightened. Pushed in retainer clip and set it up and it now has some choke and will start and idle. Now I have to add the heat tube so it opens when it gets hot. I can tell it pulls exhaust through the choke, not sure if Iwill weld some kind of bung onto the headers or put something outside coiled around them yet. I'll have to get some insulation/header wrap to keep the heat to the tube as well.
