1973 Ford Bronco V8 Four Wheel Drive Manual

I have an old Bronco(1973) that has not been stared for months and I just replaced the carburetor I can spray starter fluid in the carburetor and it runs for a few seconds but then stops. I checked the fuel pump and lines and it is pumping gas. Any ideas?

Thanks

Check the needle valve its probably clogged-up and not opening letting fuel in-also check the fuel nozzle too
