Listers,

Here's the deal,  I've rebuilt my 150 Stromberg on my 1972 spitfire.  The
car will only run with the choke pulled.  I've replace the plugs, checked
the ignition timing, all OK.  Checked fuel pressure, right at 3 psi. (now I
admit that this may not be accurate, as my gauge goes up to 150 psi).  I've
changed the fuel filter and I am contemplating changing to an electric fuel
pump.  Am I missing something obvious here?  New air filter, needle set
according to specs, I might need to check the float level again, but I
believe it is set correctly.  I'm stumped.  Any help out there?
