I am currently working on a 1951 Super C. I had sent the carb out to be rebuilt. I pulled the head because I has a couple valves that were stuck. Got those moving again and reinstalled the head with a new gasket. New points and condenser gapped to 0.020. New plugs gapped to 0.023. Put the rebuilt carb on and connected the fuel line. I have a good stream of gas to the carb. Tried to start it and it would not fire. Poured a cap full of gas in each cylinder and it ran great for about 5 seconds. Would not start after that. Squirted some gas into the air intake side of the carb and closed the choke. Ran great for about 5 seconds. Would not start after. Pulled the carb and the float is wet so I believe gas is getting in the carb. The idle screw is set to 1-1/4 turns out. Basically the only way I can get it to run is by squirting gas into the carb and then it will run for about 5 seconds. What am I missing? Any help would be appreciated.
