Good Morning Everyone. Been a long time since I've chimed in. I'm working on my 47E, art deco COE. It is all stock, updraft etc. After sitting for about 10 years (running before) I rebuilt the carb, cleaned out the entire fuel system. I got it to fire while the starter is engaged, but it won't keep running, and takes about 5-10 seconds to fire again. I can crank, but it won't fire initially. Only after 5-10 seconds after the last fire. Distributor stuff is new as of 10 years ago, and it is currently on an IV fuel system just to eliminate lingering fuel issues. Coil has a constant 6.6V. Fires up really strong and positive and just dies immediately. Wait just a few seconds and I can do it again. Won't keep going? What can I look for?
Thank you in advance for the help, Tom
