Okay, pretty confused. Finished my 455 and put it in. Engine started up fine, ran it for a few minutes to break it in, but shut it off after several minutes to fix some small water leaks. Over the next couple of days got the leaks fixed, starting the engine several times to check they were fixed.
Went out to start it and finish up break in time and adjust idle and carb and it just won't start. Turns over fine, just won't run.
Pour a little gas in the top, cranks right up and goes a few seconds until it runs out of gas.
Brand new fuel pump, clear fuel filter up by the rail going into the carb, fuel pressure gauge at carb shows 5-6 lbs, brand new 93 octane gas.
The thing ran and all of a sudden it seems it's not getting fuel, but all indicators are that it is.
Any suggestions or wisdom to share?
