I've done it now . HELP 3 Years ago  
Ok. I ported the manifold(and that turned out pretty good too ) , And install ed a K & N air cleaner, and a barons jet kit. Went with a 172.5 main and needle on 4th notch from bottom.

Problem is it wont start...

It coughed and spitted, but a no go.

It is getting fuel to the carb What now?

Re:I've done it now . HELP 3 Years ago  
Is that a K&N open air kit or just the K&N in the stock air box? Where's your PMS set at? How's the float level? 4th notch from the bottom mean the pointed end? If it does you counted from the wrong end. You would want the 4th from the blunt end. Did you follow the jetting procedure or just guess at the jetting?
