Finally got the Buggy running last night. I retimed it again as well as gapped the rockers etc. it still ran poorly needing half throttle to stay running etc. So for grins I pulled the vacuum lin off of the fuel tank and covered it and it idled perfect. If I hit the gas it bogged from fuel starvation however it lead me to the real problem. I had the original fuel valve in a box so I pulled it out took the seal and sock off the new one and installed. Final result it fires on first crank and idles perfectly. I have not driven it yet but ran it in the garage as I completed it late and it would have been a bad thing to wake the kids up on a school night. Thanks to all who helped me out with this rebuild.
