I finished rebuilding a ZS and went to start it yesterday.  the car tried to
catch but wouldn't (not getting fuel)  if sprayed with starter fluid it
would start for a few seconds.  The strange part is this:  fuel was coming
out of the intake hole (throttle body I think it is called) and plenty of
it.  I pulled the plug on the bottom of the carb and only about a tablespoon
came out not the expected half cup that should of been there.  If you look
in the throttle body part of the car there is a lot of fuel, enough that it
is running out and cover the outside of the carb.  Help! what have I done.
everything is correct that I know of.

Thank you very much in advance, now I am just waiting for the cumulative
wisdom of the list to prevail.
