All right, good news at least. First I didn't have to remove the whole timing cover, there is an access cover right in the center. Duh, I guess that's not news
Anyhow engine rolls over fine, went around several times watched all the valves open and close, spit some fuel out.
So, it could be low battery or some other starter issue, which I will consider good news. Low battery may even have saved my ass here.
Now back to the carb issues. I really should start a new thread but quick rundown.
Fuel rails were leaking, I was in a hurry and hired someone to do the job.
He screwed me over every way imaginable and they started leaking again within days, finally I was forced to do the job myself.
Got carbs on bench, separated and put in the cheaper oring kit from redeye. Did not do the whole carb kit as I just paid this other guy to do it (and hopefully he did) anyhow I did pull the float bowls to look inside, they were mostly clean I would say. Put the bowls back on and made up some drain lines (as the "mechanic" just threw the drain assembly away) and put on the carbs, like 3 or 4 of them just filled up with fuel and overflowed everywhere, air even coming out of the air tubes. Like stuck floats.
Pulled carbs, put on bench, turned them upside down once or twice and filled them with fuel and they don't overflow.
Thoughts? Anyway I could have installed something incorrectly and caused the floats to remain open??
