Ok, admittedly I haven't started the truck since February (After a recent carb rebuild). The truck started just fine back in February.

So I go out yesterday and nothing. I spray some starter fluid in the carb and she starts right up ....for 3 seconds. Once the starter fluid is used up she dies.

I disconnected the fuel line, put the line in a small cap, tried to start and it looked like the pump was delivering plenty of fuel. So I know I am getting fuel and I know I am getting spark because the truck does start up with the starter fluid.

What should I look at next? Carb adjustment, timing?
