Ran great yesterday, now it won't start!

yes, it has spark. i took a plug out and was able to get it to spark on the valve cover. when i pump gas into the carb, using the lever on the right hand side of the TQ carb i can hear it pump gas into the carb, (squirting sound) when i do that 7-10 times, the car will start, but i have to carfully press the gas peddle to keep it going. this is my second tank of gas since i got the gas tank clean and the new gas lines. i'm sure the carb is dried out and i check the fuel filter and it didn't seem obstructed.

If you have not rebuilt a Thermoquad that has sat for a while it will need it.... I've had T/Qs for years & they do not store well..... Also make sure the choke pull off is working, that's the diaphragm that connects to vacuum on the rear passenger side of the carb.

cool. i'll check it. i've never rebuilt a carb before. would it be easier just to buy a new holley?

Easier.$$$$$..is all that takes.  I've done it several times usually successfully... $25-kit and a few hours & you can do.

i broke down and to the cuda to a pro. i finally got it running and limped it down to the local garage. it ran hot all the way down there and almost stalled at every stoplight i came to. I'm not sure what the problem is.
