Rebuilt everything get everything hooked up, and then try it again. Carbs don't like be left for long periods of time with old bad gas. If the choke doesn't work, the truck will be harder to start, if it will start at all.

@steve3501
There is a single connection on the back of the alternator where the choke wire plugs into. It's designed this way so the choke only gets power while the engine is actually running.
