If your battery is up I'd clean the cables. sometimes more than one problem will pop up at the same time at the most inopportune moment

w a screwdriver jump from the large batt terminal to the brown solenoid wire on the starter relay and if it cranks the batt/cables/starter are OK. then see if the yellow "ign" wire to the starter relay has fire when a helper turns the key to "start" & if so see if the neutral safety switch is grounding the "grn" wire on the starter relay when in Park, neutral or w the clutch depressed

how did you have the fuel line on wrong??? only one way to hook it up on an eddy carb wont say the cyls are not full of gas but thats a lot of cranking for the pump to pump that much gas into the engine sounds like the Batt is down,if you had it charging that long and its still not taking a charge you may need a Batt as well like said jump the silanoid with screw driver to see if batt has juice to spin the moder

i put it into the rear of the carb instead of the side. hoooked er up to mom camry and she started right up, going to pick up a new battery today i guess. there was smoke coming from the passenger side of the bay but could not tell where it was coming from looked to be the rear of the engine maybe the headers/collector?

It appears that you somehow connected the fuel feed to the PCV nipple! when the motor spun over, the intake got a fresh, unmetered, unmixed stream of gasoline. Yes it will run, but very erraticly. An engine can run without an intake manifold too. Try spraying starting fluid into the intake ports of a long block. it will fire and scare the piss out of you! In a best case scenario, you stopped before any severe damage occured. All it takes is about an ounce of liquid in ONE cylinder to stop the motor from spinning over. Pull the plugs, spin the engine over and watch your eyes. Gas should shoot out of the spark plug holes. Let the cylinders evaporate then clean or install new spark plugs. CHANGE THE OIL. Recheck the fuel line to make sure it is connected where it should be, and start it up. You may get away lucky. Once I crossed a stream in my 73 Duster and sucked water into the 318. I pulled the plugs and spun the motor. Water shot out like a hose spray nozzle! After a 15 minute dry-out, I put it back together and it ran like before! Miracles can happen.
