What kind of carb are we talking about? Sounds like what you said, when you are cranking, the fuel pump is pushing fuel to the carb and it is running out. Could be the connection to the fuel line, a stuck open needle and seat (my bet) or a leak from somewhere else on the fuel bowl (like a site plug on a Holley).

Have someone crank it and watch where the fuel comes from, that will be a good start.
