Sorry for the late reply.

If you have the spider fuel system, that fuel system is noted for problems. Start-up fuel pressure is critical, around 60--66 psi. After you get it running, it will run with less pressure. Also, the fuel poppet valves are noted for sticking. The cleaning procedure I've seen for the fuel poppet valves is a shop procedure. I'd definitely check fuel pressure.
