Check fuel flow by removing the line that goes into carb and flowing gas straight into a mason jar. Should be a good, strong stream. (Get assistant inside the car open and close fuel valve for you.) Could have blocked a fuel screen or some trash in the line blocking it.

Check gas cap vent by removing cap and seeing if gas flows into the jar better.

Remove bottom plug (under main jet of carb) and hold jar under there while someone opens fuel valve. You should get a good steady stream there. If not, float valve is not working correctly.

Finally, don't laugh: Make sure you have plenty of gas in the gas tank. I've had more than one Model A owner call me stumped about why their car would not start and run, only to confirm with me that they were out of gas!

Checked all that--good.
