Hold your hand over the throat of the carburetor and see if there's good suction on your hand. You need good intake manifold vacuum to pull that fuel into the engine. If you don't have good suction there's a problem with your manifold vacuum. The mainifold may need to be tightened or your valves aren't seating, rings and cylinders may be worn. Do a compression check and see what your readings are. How long has it been since that timing belt was replaced? You could bring No1 piston to TDC on the compression stroke. Look to see if the timing mark is aligned with the pointer and then pull the distributor cap and see where the rotor is pointing. Should be at the No1 plug tower. If its off it may have jumped time. I have pic of that engine on installing a new belt if you need it. Hal
