Usually if the engine uses a vacume T it has a vacume operated fuel pump at the bottom of the fuel tank. Mine as most yerfs just had a nipple from the tank but I have seen some with the pump, don't know if they come with them or someone put them on. The vacume T will connect the vacume hoses to the manifold vacume supply, the air bleed valve on right side of carb and the fuel pump. Make sure the gas in your tank is good gas, the ethanol blended gas will go bad and not want to burn. Check the valve lash they do not loosed up with wear as many believe, the valve lash will decreas as the valves are pounded into the seats over time to where usually the intake valve will not fully close. You may also want to run a compression check to see if you have suitable compression to start the engine.
