The only way I can get it to run is to hold the gas to the floor while I crank it and it will only run briefly. Any ideas?

Hi,
When it does start, does the engine rev or does it run rough and not increase in RPMs? Also, do you notice any smoke from the exhaust or a rich fuel smell from the exhaust?
If you do notice that, check the fuel pressure to make sure the regulator isn't failing and dumping fuel.
Here is a link that shows in general how that is done:

Let me know that. Also, if you could record what it is doing and upload it for me to hear and see, it may be helpful.
Take care,
Joe
