Whoa!! Let"s not start to fix a bunch of things that are not broke. Let"s review the facts. I assume the engine was running before you replaced the intake/exhaust. If so, Then all those things (timing, valve clearance, etc., etc., et.) are OK, or close enough to run. Gas at the Carb, fires with external fuel input (but quits as soon as this external fuel is consumed). Now what has changed since it was running?? We changed the manifold. Sounds to me like you may have air leaking into the manifold instead of going through the carb where it is susposed to. My suggestion is hook up to the pickup with a chain run through a pipe (15-20 feet long), get your wife to drive the pickup (if she is still talking to you after the rag deal), tell her to take the slack out then proceed no faster than 5MPH, for a straight run of up to 1/2 mile. Get in the seat with the switch on, transmission in high/high, and throttle 3/4 open. When she gets to rolling about two MPH, pop the clutch. The engine will start to turn over at a mid-RPM and clean out the intake system (best to have the air cleaner off). After pulling for a few yards the engine will probably start (be ready to push the clutch in so you don"t try to run over moma). Probably won"t run smooth, may even pop and backfire. At any rate if she fires let her run (even erratically) until shes warms up real good. Some things DO fix themselves (most don"t). As for the carb leaking, the float may be too HIGH. Good luck!!!!!
