Chad,

Here's what you do:
1) make sure ignition timing is close to top dead center for starts
2) number one piston is at top of stroke, both valves are closed
3) v-notch on pulley is centered on case halves when rotor is pointed at
number one position on dist ( there is a                notch on the dist
lip as well )
4) remove air filter and AFM unit
5) open throttle and spray about 2 -3 seconds of quick start into opening.
6) close throttle
7) Have fire extinguisher handy and ready
8) start engine

If it starts and runs for a few seconds, you have a fuel delivery problem.
Which it sounds like you do.
You can check this out by removing the fuel injectors one at  a time and
cranking the eingine over. ( coil wire detatched from one end)

If you have fuel squirting out of the injectors
then I would refer to someone else on the list who could help you further.

But with proper timing, spark and fuel it should run.
