We just got through doing a top end rebuild of a '48 UL. New valves, pistons, rings, etc. It has 45 PSI compression. Also new coil, plugs and plug wires. We also rebuilt the carburetor. Plenty of fresh gas. New points and condensor in the timer. The timing is on the mark both on the flywheel and timer. New fully charged battery.
Engine will run on ether only as if it's not getting fuel. It will run for just a few seconds. The float is not rubbing the float bowl and the needle is not sticking. We shot compressed air across the carb jet and could plainly see fuel spraying throughout the Venturi.
If anyone has any pointers on something we're overlooking it would be greatly appreciated.
