Default Re: Will not start after engine rebuild

Hooray! The car has started! We used some more starting fluid, and it finally fired up.
But....
There is a lot of popping and backfiring, and the engine wants to race. If I try and cut the accelerator back a little, the engine wants to die.
I found that the filter in the fuel sediment bowl was badly clogged. After cleaning it up, the car started without the starting fluid, but still with the racing and popping
