[MODERATOR'S NOTE: The use of ether or other starting fluids can be hazardous to yourself and your vehicle. The use of ether or starting fluids is suggested for experienced professionals under controlled conditions, and the reader should take appropriate precautions and gauge his/her skills before undertaking the test David outlines. The use of ether carries the potential of engine damage and fire if used indiscriminately.] The amount of fuel comming out of the injectors is directly affected by the position of the air sensor plate. At idle with the plate closed you don't get alot of fuel out of them. If you push the plate down you will see more fuel come out. If you adjusted the mixture screw be aware that it is VERY sensitive and a SMALL adjustment will throw the air fuel ratio far enough out of whack that the engine will just sputter and die. Since you say that you took the engine apart can you be sure that you have everything correctly timed? To rule out a fuel problem pull the #7 fuse to the fuel pump and squirt a LITTLE BIT of ether into the engine. If it doesn't start right up for a couple of seconds start looking somewhere else like valve timing or distributer timing or ignition wiring. Pull a spark plug and make sure it is firing with a nice blue spark!
