450 Diesel won't start

Posted by Drew Becker on January 21, 2006 at 11:57:35 from (24.74.43.5):

I have a 450 diesel that I totally went through. New: pistons, rings, sleeves, rods,and new bearings. Head was re-worked. The cam is in proper time as is the distributor. New d89d plugs cap points condensor and wires. Starting valves have about 1/16th to 1/8th free play when the lever is in the rear position as per the book. Carb was rebuilt by me and fills with gas as it should, and shuts off when lever is thrown forward for diesel. The flippers in the intake manifold are in good working condition and are indexed into the starting valve linkage as they should be. When I crank the engine over....I can smell raw gas out the exhaust manifold. When I squirt some either into the intake....it will fire for a couple of revolutions but as soon as the either runs out it quits. I am certain there is fire all the way to the plugs. Can anyone help?? Does this sound like the fire isn"t getting from the plugs to the combustion chamber??
