Hmmmm, I have never heard of doing that on an FE. Not saying it's bad, mind you, just saying I have never heard of it. There's no shortage of starter motor choices for an FE. As I mentioned, I use the plain old OEM Ford job that weighs like 200 pounds and costs like fifty bucks.

Now that you've put the needle and seat valves back in with a little grease on them and three threads showing, why don't you just turn on the electric pump and see if you see gas shooting out anywhere? We won't bother setting the floats or anything until you get the starter motor in, but let's just look to see if gas is flying first.
