Give each carb a small shot of starting fluid (ether) and it should fire
right off.  Pull that choke all the way out and give it half a turn to lock
it in place.  Go look and see on the carbs if they choke is working proper.

when the car has been sitting for a few days I have trouble starting it.

what happens with full choke is that it has to turn over a half dozen times
before it catches and then starts up with missing and hissing and hickuping
as
if it isn't getting enough fuel.

sometimes I can overcome this by flooding the front carb

the engine is BJ-8 with recently installed petronix (did it before) and a
fuel
filter up front with adjusted 3.5 lbs pressure. Have checked and fuel bowls
are full.

Once fully firing everything is fine.
