If filling the carb with fuel, and setting the idle sufficiently high that the engine should run off of the main metering circuit did not allow the engine to get above idle, then:

(1) check the advance mechanism in the distributor.

Please go back to my post where I suggested, IN ORDER:

(1) Compression test
(2) Ignition test
(3a) Fuel delivery system
(3b) Carburetor

I think you have other issues than the carb.

The vacuum value while idling would be a very useful number.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot air
The most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.
