Two more thoughts come to mind in addition to what CNKS mentioned:
1) I have never had luck with the 1 5/32 float adjustment on my zeniths - always end up reducing that measurement to about 1 1/16". Otherwise, I get gas pouring out of the thing and rich running with black smoke.
2) You mentioned the plugs were dry. Taking you at your word on that, it could mean the air/fuel mix is not getting up the manifold into the cylinders. Sometimes that happens with these old C123 engines - especially if they have been sitting. (Your engine has not been sitting, but it is new and has not been run yet.) When it happens, I squirt a little gas in each cylinder with a syringe through the spark plug holes just to get it to light off. Other guys will squirt a little oil into each cylinder. The oil improves the seal around the rings which, in turn will enhance the suction of the air/fuel mix to the cylinders.
