Default Re: Failed Start After Carb Rebuild

Would suggest you replace one part at a time. Also, try to find some local talent/help to use as a resource. There should be some model a guys near enough to you to offer to help.
My experience with tillotsens is limited. I had trouble adjusting the carb. The tillotsen can distort over time and have air leaks from distorted casting.
Since we don't know anything about the car we should use baby steps in resurrecting it.
You may have intake manifold leaks from a bad gasket, or worse from a distorted intake manifold. You need to determine if the gas flow from the gas tank is adequate, and eliminate any leaks. First determine if the main gas valve under the gas tank completely shuts off the gas flow from the tank to the carb. you do not want to have gas leaking.
Always end your daily work with shutting off this main gas valve.
Did the car run before you rebuilt the carb? Why did you start with the carb rebuild?
