Default Another No-Start

Hi all,

My 'A' sat around for a few weeks while waiting for a friend to add a secondary fuel shutoff onto the fuel line. After reattaching the new line, the car fired right up. I backed it out of the garage, let it idle for a few minutes and shut it off again so I could get some work done on the roof.

A couple of hours later the car would not start, and it has not started since.

I have gone through the motions with the electrics, and cannot find anything wrong in that department. Every now and then one or two pistons will fire, but that is it. The only noticeable symptom I have is that after turning over, there is fuel leaking out from both the throttle plate assembly and what I assume is the small hole between the jets and the choke plate.

I have taken the bottom of the Zenith carb off and do not notice anything out of the ordinary. My main jet tip is not, and has never been dished as long as I have owned the car, which does usually leak a little, but only after the car has been shut off.

Any ideas? Thanks
