All Small Six Help! Did I just screw up my new build?

[DON]

I looked again at this and it looks like they are out of stock on the 6an with no valve
But they do have the 8AN with no valve. $50

wix 33002 is a 5/16 transparent inline fuel filter. I run one before the fuel pump to keep it clean also

So what I'm thinking for my next steps:
- open up the carb and check for any debris
- adjust pressure at pressure regulator
- remove the inline filter and replace it with filter at the carb (possibly) OR just run it without it (my fuel pump does have filter already)
- change oil
- switch back to non adjustable rocker arms (to exclude possible problem for now and just deal with carb/fuel delivery)
- check dizzy for good spark on each spark plug

If all that doesn't solve the start up and flooding issues - move on to the electric fuel pump

I’ve always liked these:

I never liked plastic filters. You can get them in 2:4”, 5/16” and 3/8” barbed ends.

I would not put complete trust in the fuel pump filter unless I know exactly what its filtering rating is. And it needs to filter after the pump.diaphragm and valve assembly.
