Fuel Problem ~ Discovery

Guys maybe you can tell me what is going on when you read this.

So I took the truck for another test drive, identical to the last one. I drove it about a mile to the same gas station, then I shut it off, I waited 10 minutes and then tried to start it. It would not start, it just cranked over and over and over.

I checked the fuel in the see through glass filter right in front of the carb and it was full of nice clean gas.

Here's where it gets interesting:

I pressed the gas pedal all the way down to the floor and held it there while trying to start it, and it fired right up!!!

Gentlemen and Ladies, what does that tell us? What does this mean? Seems like some sort of break through for sure, I just don't know what it means.
