[Healeys] Problem with triple carbs, running!

Fellow Healeyoids,
Now, I have had this car running last fall several times and it ran fine.
Currently, I'm having a problem with my triple carbs on the Healey.  I have
a 63 BJ7 fitted with three 1 3/4, HS6 carbs on bored out triple manifolds.
I also have a Facet fuel pump, an inline filter and regulator.  The carbs
are rebuilt.  They have the correct needles for the setup.  They have new
gross jets in the float bowls.  I have removed the dashpots and there is
little gas coming up from the jet orifice on the first carb (front most) and
none on the other two.  Is my fuel pressure too low?  What should it be set
at on the regulator 3 pounds?  Is the hang up on the first float bowl?
Could there be a vapor lock in the fuel line?  Thanks!

Randy
