I want to thank everyone for their input to my question about starting a Model A engine...
I took the carb apart and rechecked all the internal passages and all were clear... Then I checked the jets and the microscopic fuel opening at the top of the idle jet was plugged solid... Using a #80 drill, I reopened it up and reassembled the carb and all works fine... Just like what you would like to see... Hopefully it will stay that way... If it acts up again, at least I know where to look first...
Again, thank you...
