i have a 1951 quick roadmaster that has been sitting for over 10 years and i
have rebuilt the carb, changed oil, and   spark plugs. when i go to start it, it
turns over then sounds like it is starting then stops and makes a noise as if

Is the carb getting gas? Have you checked the points, cap, rotor and ignition timing?
