RE: Engine starting problem...octane?

Well...I reset the spark plug gaps to 0.035, put in a switch to allow the fuel pump to run during starter cranking. Now I'm getting a constant 6psi of fuel. But still no luck. It kinda runs when the starter is engaged, but once I let off the starter, it dies after shaking for a few seconds. It wants to run, but just doesn't. There are 2 other suspects that I will look at. I've got the Crane adjustable rockers with hyd lifters. I pre-loaded them with 1/2 turn. I might back them out to 1/4 turn. Maybe the HV pump is loading the lifters too much for 1/2 turn preload. ? The other suspect is that I didn't set the timing gear correctly. Highly improbable, but possible. Dave Shoe, what is it that you were saying about the carb and the primary circuit? This is where my lack of knowledge hurts me. I've currently got a fuel line going to both inlets on the carb (dbl pumper). Did I screw something up, or do I need to do something else? Thanks...
