Advice sought: '71T not starting

[PrairieDriver]

Another update on my end: I was able to see fuel squirting into the carburetor. The attached photo is a screen grab from a video captured on my cell phone. That drop of fuel you can barely see was a welcome sight!

So was all this operator -- me -- error? Not correctly doing the most basic starting procedure? If so, I mark that down as a stark reminder of my tremendously low starting point for knowing my car and an indication of how much I have to learn. I'll also be glad that no repairs are needed.

I enjoy learning about these precious cars. They are an extraordinary engineering, design and business (i.e., packing all that engineering and design into a price point that many people can access) feat even 50+ years later.

Thanks for everybody's assistance, especially Ed and Paul.
