So good to hear you are working the car back to life. I知 pretty sure he would have had everything set up. He wasn稚 running ethanol free gasoline? I知 sure he didn稚 expect it would be sitting for any length of time... with Webers, you値l likely need to get fuel back into the carbs before it値l run. Did he have it set up with a mechanical or electric fuel pump? Pull the distributor cap, make sure it all looks clean in there & get fuel pumped into those carbs. It depends on a lot of factors but, my idle screws are just over 1 turn out. You値l need to set this when the motor & oil are at running temp. This may take a good 15+ minutes of driving. If you have the idle set somewhat close, it should give signs of life with a pump of fuel then ignition.
