You say gas to the carb,now,do you get gas THROUGH the carb?Are the plugs getting wet?If you take the drain plug out of the bottom of the carb does gas run out steadily?For a full minute or two?What we have here,and is very common,are mice nests in the muffler when the car sits around for a month or two.If it can't puff the air out it can't pull the gas in.You cleaned the carb with compressed air,does that mean you blew into the openings while on the car,or did you take it apart and run a wire through the passages before blowing them out?
