Now that I have put the eng back together it will start but won't stay lit but every once in a while it will throw fire up through the venturi of the carb, and I mean at least 4' Do I have the timing wrong or what? Someone please help this is frustrating as hell cause I'm so close to gettin her back on the road.Whatever the answer please be methodical, I don't want to turn my eng compartment into a pile of ash!

Check your firing order and timing first. You may have plug wires mixed up and or your distributer 180 out.
