My family lost our patriarch, our daddy, last October. He left my sisters and I 3 classic Fords, 29 Model A Business Coupe, 41 Ford P/U with Flathead V8 and a 66 Mustang Coupe. Thanks to this site I've made great progress on the A and now I'm starting to work on the 41. He and I rebuilt the truck chassis and he had the engine rebuilt by a specialist in Flatheads. it was running good but at some point he started tinkering and now it won't fire. The last I've been able to confirm is he was trying to adjust the carb and that's when it stopped firing. It's been sitting for probably 4-5 years so I figure the carb needs to be rebuilt. Looking for ideas for checks I need to make or thoughts on where to begin.

Any help will be appreciated.
