Allis chalmers wc won't run

Hello I am working on a allis chalmers wc, and I am to the point where I am trying to start the tractor. I believe I have the mag timed right on the engine. I went thru the steps i found with TDC and then rotate back to the fire mark. I put a new zenith carb on it and have good gas going to the carb. I crank the tractor over and it will try to start and then keep cranking, then gas will seep out of the bottom of the carb. And then every one in a while it will backfire maybe once and sound like a gun going off. But then try to fire.
Des anyone have any specific suggestions I can do to try and get the tractor going, thanks for any help!
 
Did you remove plug #1 and hand crank until you felt air coming out of the plug hole? Then with a wire, hand crank until the piston is at the top. Then install the mag. LOL Bob
 
I second the 180 degrees off. I had the same problem when I first tried starting my WC. Re did the timing from scratch again and it fired right up.
