These babies are notoriously tight when new. Got to heat them up really well and catch it just right on the starter box to get it turning over.
If you are going to race in a couple of days, just be aware that you will not get anywere near full performance from the 5 Port until you have put 1.5 + gallons on it !! Don't try to lean it out for extra performance when it's tight. It just won't work. Just keep the HSN flush and take it easy. When you get 1.5 gallons on it, replace the con rod and then let it rip.
You have the run in shim fitted ? This really helps to ease the initial starting and running. Good luck and enjoy
