That actually helped (I think). I was able to do a bit of fiddling and it looks like the choke isn't closing completely either, and I saw gas down in the base of the intake manifold so I know that some gas is starting to get through. I ran out of time last night so I let you know more once the fiddling is done.1958 107 SW - Sold to a better home

OK, so after replacing the accelerator pump (which was needed) and correctly reconnecting the choke so that it will close completely the Rover starts A LOT better. I think it was a bit of both but neither one or the other alone. The article Yorker wrote helped me understand a bit more about carbs and realize the choke was part of the problem.
Thanks everyone for your help!1958 107 SW - Sold to a better home
