Buddy has a TO20 that has set out a few years and wouldn't do anything that acted like starting so he brought it over to see if I could get it to run. After checking everything out and replacing the battery I got to the carb. It was in rough shape and I had to even replace the choke shaft because it had set up and wouldn't come out in 1 piece. As is my practice on most old Marvel carbs, I soaked it, poked a tip cleaner through all jets, made a gasket, and put it back together. It will start and run 3 or 4 seconds and then die. If you try to restart immediately it won't but allow it to sit 5 minutes and it fires right up. You can repeat this process all day. It has a good flow of gas to and through the carb. Help?? gm (Thanks in advance)
