Disconnected wires from thermo-time switch. No change in behavior. Motor spins up to about 2k rpm, sounds great for a few seconds - then dies with some backfires through the intake.

"Time to acquire the system/control pressure checking gauge stuff and see what you have for cold control pressures, and for system pressure."

Yeah. Need to hook it up.

Key on, lifted air plate. Fuel pump ran and injector #4 at least sprayed fuel.

"If it does, and the pressures are reasonable, maybe the mixture screw is way out of whack? Hunting around on posts on CIS should lead you to some ways of setting the mixture screw to ballpark before you even try to start, I think I recall."

I will check that out.

"I take it that you can't keep it going with the throttle? If you can, then it's not a CSV only fuel issue, but more likely a fuel quantity adjustment issue."

I can keep it going with the throttle. But iyt isn't very stable, so the rpms zoom up and then down with backfires in intake.
