thank you for the input...fuel pump was delivering good amount of fuel after I disconnected the line to see what kind of pressure I had...I figured there must be some sort of restriction in the carb,,,took it apart and sure enough there was a lot of junk inside the throttle pump area and other parts of the carb...went right through it cleaning out all the components with carb cleaner...put it back together...car starts now without putting gas down the carb...I think the problem has been resolved...
