If the leak is really bad, you get an engine full of gas.
This happened on my 78 awhile back. Not sure if this is your problem but it is definitely something to check out. As stated previously, you could aim the outlet line from the fuel pump into some sort of container and crank the motor to see if the pump is actually working.

Thanks for the info, but I just tested the pump, and its workin alright, sprayed gas everywhere!
Anyway, I was wondering if any one knew, if I tightened the lean mixture screw (solenoid adjustment) on the top front of the carb too much, would that cause me to get no fuel? See, I can get it started with the aerosol can of engine start, and if I keep spraying quick spurts of the spray in the carb the truck will run for about a minute, but when I stop spraying the truck stops running. Plus, the lean mixture screw was the only one I messed with at all while rebuilding the carb, I had to take it off to get the the needle & seat assembly.
